Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids – also known as “mini-brain” models – from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Study corresponding author Hongjun “Harry” Fu, PhD, assistant professor of neuroscience at The Ohio State University says this could lead to new treatments for FTLD and Alzheimer’s, the two most common forms of dementia that lead to cognitive decline.
