Induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC) reprogramming in bone and blood cancers (Ref:SF20/APP/PAL)
Northumbria University Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
iPSC (somatic cells reprogrammed to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state) are not only a means of patient relevant disease modelling, but de-differentiation of terminal cells to their primitive precursors often reveal aberrations in tissue development. Read more

Investigating synaptic dysfunction caused by AMPA receptor trafficking to lysosomes in familial Alzheimer’s disease iPSC-derived neurons
University of Bristol School of Biochemistry
Synaptic dysfunction is thought to underlie the early cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since AMPA receptors are the major type of neurotransmitter receptor at excitatory synapses, aberrant AMPAR trafficking is a likely underpinning mechanism. Read more

CRISPR-activation to prevent genetic eye disease
The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
Mutations resulting in haploinsufficiency or hypomorphic alleles are the cause of most inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs). Gene replacement therapy for such conditions is one treatment option but the large developmental costs and time associated with such therapies are barriers to developing this approach more widely.
