Stem Cell Biology

Background:

The human blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents challenges for neurological disease treatment and modeling.
Existing animal and in-vitro models have limitations in replicating human BBB complexity and genetics.
Current 3D BBB-on-chip models often lack the full complement of brain cell types.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive 3D Brain-Chip system using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
To incorporate multiple brain cell types for a more accurate model of the human neurovascular unit.
To create a platform for studying genetic risk factors and testing neurological therapies.

Main Methods:

Engineered a GelChip microfluidic platform using 3D printing and hydrogels.
Co-cultured iPSC-derived endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, neurons, microglia, and oligodendroglia.
Modeled the brain microvasculature, including the APOE4 variant associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Main Results:

Successfully developed a multicellular 3D Brain-Chip system with iPSC-derived brain cells.
Characterized the co-cultured iPSC-derived brain-on-chips.
Demonstrated the ability to model human genetic risk factors like APOE4 in the BBB.

Conclusions:

The developed 3D Brain-Chip system offers a versatile platform for neurological disease research.
This model can assess BBB function, investigate disease mechanisms, and screen therapeutics.
It advances the development of more effective treatments for neurological disorders by providing a human-relevant model.
