Human iPSC-Derived Microglia for Neurodegeneration Research | Poster
Discover how human iPSC-derived microglia provide a physiologically relevant platform for studying neurodegeneration and advancing early-stage drug discovery. This poster showcases ready-to-use microglia that exhibit key functional characteristics, including cytokine secretion and phagocytosis, alongside Alzheimer's disease-relevant APOE and TREM2 models. It also demonstrates how these cells can be integrated into co-cultures, organoids, and 3D bioprinted systems to support neuroinflammation research and complex multicellular disease modelling.
Key takeaways:
- Understand how human iPSC-derived microglia recapitulate key microglial functions, including immune responses and phagocytic activity
- Explore Alzheimer's disease models carrying APOE and TREM2 mutations for investigating disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets
- Learn how microglia can be incorporated into advanced co-culture, organoid, and 3D bioprinting workflows for neurodegeneration research
