Wild Type Neural Models Products

The human nervous system's profound sophistication presents formidable challenges to comprehensively elucidating disease mechanisms and devising effective therapeutics. Neurological disorders, encompassing a spectrum from neurodevelopmental conditions like ASD to debilitating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and ALS, represent a significant global health burden. Conventional research paradigms, while valuable, often inadequately recapitulate the nuanced intricacies of human neuropathology. Consequently, this deficit fuels persistently high attrition rates in therapeutic discovery. Addressing these critical gaps requires innovative tools.

Our advanced iPSC-derived Neural Model cell products help you accelerate neurological disease modeling and drug discovery by providing access to highly characterized, functionally active human neural cells, leveraging cutting-edge stem cell technology and differentiation protocols. Our expert team is on hand to discuss your specific project needs and guide you to the optimal neural model solution. Contact us for a personalized consultation or to request a quote.

Features

In biology, "wild type" (WT) denotes the typical, naturally occurring form of a species. For neural models, a wild-type system—be it an organism, tissue, or cell line—possesses a natural, non-mutated genetic makeup and normal physiological functions. Their importance stems from:

Without reliable wild-type comparators, data from modified models can be obscured, hindering translational progress.

The Indispensable Role of Wild Type Neural Models

Wild-type neural models are vital across the spectrum of neuroscience, from basic mechanism elucidation to therapeutic development.

• Elucidating Fundamental Neural Mechanisms: WT models are key for investigating core neurobiology, including neurodevelopment (neuronal migration, differentiation), synaptic function and plasticity (LTP, LTD – crucial for learning/memory), neuronal signaling pathways, and the supportive roles of glial cells in brain health.
• Essential Controls in Disease Modeling: When studying neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's), neurodevelopmental disorders, or neurological injuries, WT models are critical. For instance, studies like the one investigating Aβ accumulation's effect on neurogenesis used wild-type neural progenitor cells to discern the specific impact of the amyloid protein. These models help differentiate disease pathologies from normal changes, identify compensatory mechanisms, and validate biomarkers.
• Foundational Tools in Drug Discovery: The path to new therapies relies on WT models for: * Initial Toxicity Screening: Assessing neurotoxic effects of new compounds on healthy neural cells. * Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Studies: Understanding drug ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and effects in a normal system. * Target Validation: Confirming drug interaction with intended targets without adverse off-target effects.
• Advancing Neurogenesis Research: WT models are crucial for understanding the normal regulation of adult neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and integration, and how factors like age or environment influence this process.
• Establishing Baselines: WT neural cultures and in vivo models provide essential baseline data on electrical activity and network oscillations, vital for identifying aberrations in disease states.

FAQs

• Do you provide detailed culture protocols?
  Yes, comprehensive, easy-to-follow protocols for thawing, culturing, and maintenance are provided with each cell order.
• How are the cells shipped?
  Cells are cryopreserved and shipped on dry ice to ensure viability upon arrival.
• What is the typical post-thaw viability?
  Our cells are optimized for high post-thaw viability, typically >70-80%, when handled according to the provided protocols.
• Can these cells be used for disease modeling?
  While these are wild-type models, they serve as crucial controls for disease modeling studies when compared with patient-derived or genetically modified iPSC lines. They are also excellent for studying fundamental neurobiology.
• Are your neural cells suitable for co-culture?
  Absolutely. Many of our neural cell types, like neurons and astrocytes or neurons and microglia, are validated for co-culture to create more complex and physiologically relevant in vitro systems.
