Platform and method for analyzing genetic, age and environmental influences in stimulus response studies using induced pluripotent stem cells

摘要

Platform and method for conducting stimulus response studies in induced pluripotent stem cells derived from cells collected from donors or cells differentiated therefrom. Samples are taken at various ages and / or before and after exposure to environmental conditions. A method of preparing a platform is also provided. In one embodiment, multiple donors are involved. In another embodiment, the pluripotent pluripotent stem cells are differentiated. Optionally, the induced pluripotent stem cells or differentiated cells thereof are preserved for later analysis.
