This in-depth characterization of mis-splicing can have important implications for our understanding of the role of splicing inaccuracies in human disease and the interpretation of long-read RNA-sequencing data.
This study used two complementary approaches in a Parkinson's disease mouse model and revealed insights into dopaminergic neuron characteristics, aging markers, and potential disease genes like CASR.
Modeling age-related neurodegenerative disorders with human stem cells are difficult due to the embryonic nature of stem cell-derived neurons. We developed a chemical cocktail to induce senescence of iPSC-derived neurons to address this challenge.…
