Abstract:
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), generated through somatic cell reprogramming, exhibit self-renewal capacity and multilineage differentiation potential. In recent years, iPSC-derived neurons have emerged as a significant platform for researching mechanisms and developing therapies for neurological diseases. This paper reviews the targeted differentiation strategies of iPSCs into dopaminergic neurons, motor neurons, cholinergic neurons and medium spinal neurons, providing detailed insights into the differentiation processes. Additionally, this paper discusses the challenges associated with the future application of iPSCs-derived neurons in the treatment of nervous system diseases are also discussed in this paper, aiming to provide references for the application of iPSCs in cellular therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
