Human iPSC-derived ALS and FTD disease model
Within days, cells convert to a defined and scalable genetically matched system to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V are opti‑ox deterministically programmed motor neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous M337V mutation in the TARDBP gene, encoding TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP‑43).
Related disease model cells are available with a heterozygous TDP‑43 M337V/WT mutation, and both can be used alongside their genetically matched control, ioMotor Neurons.
Additional disease models are available in ioGlutamatergic Neurons with mutations in TDP‑43 and MAPT, creating a comprehensive toolkit to study the genetic and pathological overlap between ALS and FTD.
Applications: Neurodegeneration research, ALS & FTD disease modelling, Electrophysiological analysis, Drug development & discovery, Neuromuscular research, Neurotoxicology
