\n \n\n \n \n \nEstablishing preclinical models of Alzheimer\u2019s that reflect in-life clinical symptoms of each individual is a critically important goal, yet so far it has not been fully realised. A new collaborative study from the University of Oxford has demonstrated that clinical vulnerability to an abnormally abundant protein in Alzheimer\u2019s brain is in fact reflected in individual patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons.
