The discovery that somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) raised the exciting possibility of modeling diseases with patient-specific cells. Marchetto et al. (2010) now use iPSC technology to generate, characterize, and treat an in vitro model for the autism spectrum disorder Rett syndrome.
体细胞可以被重编程为诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)这一发现,为使用患者特异性细胞来模拟疾病提供了令人兴奋的可能性。Marchetto 等人(2010 年)现在使用 iPSC 技术生成、表征和治疗自闭症谱系障碍雷特综合征的体外模型。
