City of Hope Researchers Develop Miniature Brain Models to Study the Causes of Alzheimer’s Disease and to Test Drugs in Development – Business Wire

DUARTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers led by City of Hope, a world-renowned research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases, have developed a powerful miniature brain platform to study the mechanistic causes of Alzheimers disease and to test dementia drugs in development, reports a new study published today in Advanced Science. Drug development for Alzheimers disease has run into challenges due to incomplete understanding of the diseases pathological mechanisms, said Yanhong Shi, Ph.D., the Herbert Horvitz Professor in Neuroscience and director of the Division of Stem Cell Biology Research within the Department of Developmental and Stem Cell Biology at Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope. Preclinical research in this arena predominantly uses animal models, but there is a huge difference between humans and animals such as rodents, especially when it comes to brain architecture
