Copy number variations in healthy subjects. Case study: iPSC line CSSi005-A (3544) production from an individual with variation in 15q13.3 chromosome duplicating gene CHRNA7 [PDF]
CHRNA7, encoding the neuronal alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (a7nAChR), is highly expressed in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus. It is situated in the 15q13.3 chromosome region, frequently associated with a Copy Number Variation (CNV),

Systematic genetic analysis of the MHC region reveals mechanistic underpinnings of HLA type associations with disease. [PDF]
The MHC region is highly associated with autoimmune and infectious diseases. Here we conduct an in-depth interrogation of associations between genetic variation, gene expression and disease.

Anti-fibrotic effect of a selective estrogen receptor modulator in systemic sclerosis
Background The rarity of systemic sclerosis (SSc) has hampered the development of therapies for this intractable autoimmune disease. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) can be differentiated into the key disease-affected cells in vitro.

Co-cultures with stem cell-derived human sensory neurons reveal regulators of peripheral myelination [PDF]
Effective bidirectional signalling between axons and Schwann cells is essential for both the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve function. We have established conditions by which human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neurons can

DNA methylation patterns in human iPSC-derived sensory neuronal differentiation
Sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system are critical in health and disease. Sensory neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are now being used increasingly for in vitro models of neuropathy, pain, and neurotoxicity.
