This study develops a method to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into functional astrocytes in 28 days, validated by marker expression and network activity support.

The paper benchmarks MEA recordings from healthy hiPSC-derived neuronal networks to establish standards for experimental design and analysis, showing MEAs are robust for disease-phenotyping and drug discovery.

This study investigates the role of CDH13 in regulating GABAergic inhibition in human-derived neuronal networks and shows its impact on E/I balance.

This study shows that MAOA dysfunction in Brunner syndrome leads to increased NMDAR activity and neuronal network hyperactivity in dopaminergic neurons.

This study shows that mitochondrial dysfunction in human neurons, caused by high heteroplasmy of the m.3243A>G variant, leads to impaired neural development, reduced synaptic connectivity, and decreased network activity.

The paper investigates how mutations in distinct genes causing intellectual disability and autism affect neuronal network development, finding shared effects on excitability and synaptic function.

This study shows that EHMT1 deficiency in human neurons leads to NMDAR hyperfunction, causing neuronal network dysfunction in Kleefstra syndrome, and demonstrates pharmacological rescue of these phenotypes.

This study investigates MAOA dysfunction in Brunner Syndrome using iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons, finding increased NMDA receptor expression and network activity.
