Somatic and Stem Cell Bank to Study the Contribution of African Ancestry to Dementia: African iPSC Initiative

2025-01-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>INTRODUCTION</h4> Africa, home to 1.4 billion people and the highest genetic diversity globally, harbors unique genetic variants crucial for understanding complex diseases like neurodegenerative disorders. However, African populations remain underrepresented in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) collections, limiting the exploration of population-specific disease mechanisms and therapeutic discoveries. <h4>M...
