Development of iPS lines for pharmacological studies As part of the project, experiments were conducted which highlighted that the genetic indicator of cellular calcium GCaMP6 is visible in human neurons derived from iPS cells when they are stimulated and develop electrical activity. The GCaMP6 therefore allows to visualize the electrical activity in these neuronal cultures […]

iPSLight project has recently passed its halfway. In line with expectations, the goal of creating and cryopreservate Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells lines from patients with Parkinson disease has been achieved. Planned preliminary activities for the screening platform development has been completed successfully. Click here for more information.
