Cell models Details
DMD Patient-Derived iPSCs
  • Our induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived skeletal muscle differentiation model offers a robust and reliable platform for disease modeling and drug discovery. Using healthy or patient-derived iPSCs, we generate functional skeletal muscle fibers that accurately mimic disease phenotypes. This system enables personalized research strategies and high-throughput screening, while providing a consistent and stable cell source, reducing dependence on traditional animal models.
3D iPSC-Derived Skeletal Muscle Model
  • Our 3D human pluripotent stem cell-derived skeletal muscle model offers an unparalleled platform for studying DMD and other muscle disorders. By generating complex 3D muscle tissue from human pluripotent stem cells, we accurately replicate key pathological features like muscle fiber degeneration and functional abnormalities, mirroring human muscle physiology more closely than traditional models. The integration of tissue engineering, machine learning, and electrical stimulation enables dynamic monitoring of muscle contraction, significantly optimizing drug screening and mechanism research.
Neuromuscular Circuit Model
  • Our patient iPSC-derived neuromuscular microphysiological model allows for precise control of muscle contraction via optogenetics. This system reveals the impact of DMD on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), demonstrating that inhibiting TGFβ signaling can partially restore motor function. It offers a novel platform for studying neuromuscular interactions and developing targeted therapies.
