A step closer to ‘clinical trial in a dish’ for Alzheimer’s  

Drug Discovery World

Grown in vitro, these cells can provide patient specific human brain models from a large cohort of AD patients – to create a ‘clinical trial in a dish’. sAD has no specific family link and is caused by a combination of genetics, the environment and a person’s lifestyle.
