This will help to better study the disease and create a technology to get rid of it Science News journalist Laura Sanders spoke about the results of the work of scientists. Discuss
Researchers, the text says, found that cells grown from stem cells from two patients with Rett syndrome show symptoms of the disease. According to the authors of the article published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, this will help to understand and study various complex diseases.
In the course of the study, scientists have grown two types of brain cells in the laboratory. The first – from stem cells of healthy people, the second – from the cells of two patients (5 and 25 years old, female) with Rett syndrome, as well as developmental disorders with seizures, autism, developmental delay. They noticed that the organelles of sick people looked the same as healthy people, but the signals they sent were less varied and more synchronized.
Thanks to such a development, the journalist emphasizes, scientists will understand and study Retta cider in the most detail. In addition, according to neuroscientist and study co-author Bennett Novich, artificially produced organelles will help to learn more about other disorders.
