Egawa et al. recently showed the value of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for modeling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in vitro. Their study and our work highlight the need for complementary assays to detect small, but potentially important, phenotypic differences between control iPSC lines and those carrying disease mutations.
Egawa 等人最近展示了使用患者特异性诱导多能干细胞 (iPSC) 在体外模拟肌萎缩性侧索硬化症的价值。他们的研究和我们的工作都强调了需要互补性的检测方法来检测对照 iPSC 系与携带疾病突变的 iPSC 系之间的微小但潜在重要的表型差异。
