Neural Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for a Xenogeneic Material-Free 3D Neurological Disease Model Neurulation from Pluripotent Cells Using a Human Hydrogel

A big congratulations to Prof. Carrick and his team from the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. Their latest research was published on May 25, 2023, “Neural Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for a Xenogeneic Material-Free 3D Neurological Disease Model Neurulation from Pluripotent Cells Using a Human Hydrogel” – https://www.mdpi.com/2311370

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. They needed a new model that would better represent the human brain’s structure, function, and pathology, and they built one using human cells.

Their novel xeno-free model more closely mimics the human brain microenvironment, potentially increasing the quality of AD research. This is a technological advancement that the field can use in research experiments to understand AD better and to more effectively develop and test drugs and therapies to prevent and manage this terrible disease.”

The Carrick Institute was pleased to support this research.
