New iPSC Resource Available for Alzheimer’s Research via EBiSC!

A new study just published in Stem Cell Reports (PMID 40614728) introduces the IPMAR Resource funded by the UK Dementia Research Institute (UKDRI): a collection of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines designed to reflect high and low polygenic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. This comprehensive panel captures extremes of genetic predisposition across early- and late-onset forms of AD, with over a high number of donor-derived lines representing diverse clinical and genetic profiles pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+6ukdri.ac.uk+6ebisc.org+6.

Key highlights:

  • Models span high- and low-risk individuals based on global and complement‑pathway AD polygenic risk scores
  • All lines come with linked clinical, longitudinal, and genetic data

🎉 The great news? The iPSC lines are now available through EBiSC, offering a vital tool for disease modelling and further research.

New publication on EBiSC-NEUR1 neurons!

We’re thrilled to see the paper “Measurements of Neurite Extension and Nucleokinesis in an iPSC-Derived Model System Following Microtubule Perturbation” published, showcasing the power of EBiSC iPSC-derived neurons.

This study highlights how iPSC technology can be used to model and measure key cellular processes like neurite extension and nucleokinesis, offering valuable insights into neurodevelopmental diseases. It’s exciting to see how EBiSC-generated iPSC lines are contributing to cutting-edge research that deepens our understanding of cellular dynamics and disease mechanisms.

A new EBiSC iPSC-derived neuronal cell product simplifies neuroscience research

The possibility to generate an unlimited amount of mature and functionally active neurons from human- induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has the potential to radically accelerate neuroscience research. However, differentiation protocols can be lengthy, expensive, and often produce inconsistencies in terms of yield and functionality. The European Bank for induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (EBiSC) is happy to announce a new iPSC derived neuronal cell product – EBiSC-NEUR1 which can be used directly from thaw for downstream applications.
