Authors Schmoll KA, Mager T, Tse TP, Alameldeen A, Zimmermann WH, Zafeiriou MP Journal Stem Cell Research Citation Stem Cell Res. 2024 Jan 28;75:103317. Abstract Control of neuronal activity by optogenetic tools is increasingly explored in disease modelling and optogenetics and holds great promise for regenerative therapy. To investigate neuronal

Authors Schreiber MK, Zafeiriou MP Journal Stem Cell Research Citation Stem Cell Res, 21 December 2023, 103295. Abstract Human brain organoids can serve as models to study myelination, a process orchestrated by oligodendrocytes. Real-time imaging provides new insights on the communication of oligodendrocytes with neurons as well as demyelination processes

Authors Schreiber MK, Zafeiriou MP Journal Stem Cell Research Citation Stem Cell Res. 2023 Dec 7;74:103276. Abstract Genetic alterations in the PLP1 gene, i.e. point mutations and duplications, are associated with demyelinating disease Pelizaeus-Merzbacher. Here, we describe the generation of a human iPSC line harboring a PLP1 variant in codon
