A 3D iPSC retina model reveals non-cell-autonomous and non-neuronal mechanism of photoreceptor degeneration in a lysosomal storage disorder.

Jimin Han, Nathaniel Foley, Sonal Dalvi…·Ruchira Singh

This study uses a 3D iPSC retina model to show that acid ceramidase deficiency causes sphingolipid metabolism changes and photoreceptor degeneration in CLN3 disease, with therapeutic potential for rhAC.

Notch1 is required to maintain supporting cell identity and vestibular function during maturation of the mammalian balance organs

Alison M. Heffer, Choongheon Lee, Joseph P. Mayernik…·Amy E. Kiernan

This study shows that Notch1 is critical for maintaining supporting cell identity in the vestibular organs, and its deletion leads to supporting cell conversion to hair cells and vestibular dysfunction.
