An age-preserving neuronal iSpheroid platform for modeling human aging and Alzheimer disease

Aging is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD), yet existing human neuronal models either erase age-associated features during reprogramming or fail to recapitulate three-dimensional organization of human neuronal tissue. Here, we establish directly induced neuronal spheroids (iSpheroids), a scalable three-dimensional platform generated by direct conversion of primary fibroblasts…
