Analysis of Delayed Neural Development in PWS DPSC Neurons (Year 2)

Funded Year: 2024

Dr. Reiter has used stem cells derived from baby teeth to look at differences in how PWS neurons in a dish develop compared to typical neurons. He has found changes in circadian rhythm and timing of development. Year 2 work will focus on ‘rescuing’ these characteristics by delivering different PWS-region genes to the cells.
