eBook: Utilizing Advanced Cell Models to Investigate Neurological Diseases
Last updated: November 2023
Overview
The complexity of neurological diseases, which encompass neurodegenerative and developmental diseases, as well as neuro-oncology, necessitates a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach for both diagnosis and management. Current research is tirelessly working towards uncovering the root causes of these diseases and formulating innovative treatment methods. The potential for improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life lies in early diagnosis, a deeper comprehension of disease mechanisms, and progress in therapeutic interventions.
This eBook presents a comprehensive analysis of advanced cell models, such as primary or iPSC-derived cell types, and their significance in neurological disease research. It emphasizes the importance of non-perturbing analysis in understanding the development, progression, and treatment of these diseases. Explore the use of live-cell imaging as a robust tool for temporally investigating cellular changes in 2D or 3D without further influences. The methods and applications presented aim to educate researchers on new technologies and techniques for analyzing in vitro cell models.
