This volume explores the latest developments in the field and showcases the vast potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in advancing neuroscience research. The chapters in this book are organized into three parts. Part One describes the generation, characterization, and validation of hiPSCs using different methodologies from various resources. Part Two focuses on techniques for genome editing of hiPSCs. Part Three covers various hiPSC applications in neuroscience research and strategies for analyzing hiPSC-based model systems. These applications include the generation of neural subtypes, glial cells, and skeletal muscles; assembling co-culture systems to prepare highly pure neurons at late maturation stages; measuring nuclear transport of proteins and transcripts in cultured neurons; and generating brain organoids. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from specialists needed to achieve successful results in your laboratory.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells is a valuable resource for researchers and students in neuroscience, neurology, stem cell biology, and other related fields.
