Solving the Mystery of Neurons: A new application report introduces an assay method that correlates ion channel currents with the excitability of dementia neurons derived from hiPSCs.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a highly versatile platform for modeling human neurons, enabling the generation of excitatory neurons for in vitro models.
To understand the electrophysiological properties of neurons, such as excitability and synaptic transmission, recording ion channels in hiPSC-derived neurons is key.
Researchers can investigate not only healthy neurophysiological functions by capturing the dynamics of ion channel currents such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, but also dysfunctions related to neurological diseases such as epilepsy, autism, and neurodegenerative disorders.
These models provide valuable tools for studying disease mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic interventions in patient-specific contexts.
