Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish a human iPSC-derived model of Moyamoya disease (MMD) by generating RNF213-knockdown vascular organoids to capture key disease-relevant vascular features. METHODS: RNF213-knockdown iPSC lines were established using lentiviral shRNA and selected with puromycin. Knockdown efficiency was validated by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Vascular organoids were differentiated from the...
