Abstract

Using patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with a genetic mutation in the tau gene (MAPT) we can model specific aspects of dementia in an on-chip platform. We have developed a microfluidic system to characterise synaptic communication between healthy and mutation-carrying networked neurons where synaptic maturity has been accelerated using human astrocyte co-cultures.
