Experimental design

Caption

Schematic of the experimental design for investigating the emergence of functional alterations in dopaminergic neurons obtained from PD patient-specific iPSC. After their generation in the plate, monitorisation of calcium intracellular levels has been used to follow the organisational changes and dynamical traits of the neuronal networks during maturation. Functional analysis of the neuronal connectivity in these cultures allowed the study of early events that originate the pathology. Gene editing in the original patient derived iPSC allowed to revert these defects.
