Modeling Lewy body disease with SNCA triplication iPSC-derived cortical organoids and identifying therapeutic drugs
11 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Aggregated α-synuclein (α-SYN) proteins, encoded by the SNCA gene, are hallmarks of Lewy body disease (LBD), affecting multiple brain regions. However, the specific mechanisms underlying α-SYN pathology in cortical neurons, crucial for LBD-associated dementia, remain unclear. Here, we recapitulated α-SYN pathologies in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)–derived cortical organoids generated from patients...
