Establishment of an induced pluripotent cell line (ABCRIi001-A) from an elderly...
Esteves, Filipa; Vilhena Catarino Brito, David; Rajado, Ana Teresa; Silva, Nádia; Apolónio, Joana; Roberto, Vânia; Andrade, Raquel; Calado, SofiaHuman induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) hold promises to model and understand human diseases, including those associated with ageing. Here, we describe ABCRIi001-A, a hiPSC line generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 79-year-old female enrolled in a study for development of an ageing score (ALFA Score). PBMCs were reprogrammed using three Sendai virus-based reprogramming vectors (h...
Reprogramming iPSCs to study age-related diseases: models, therapeutics, and cl...
Esteves, Filipa; Brito, David; Rajado, Ana Teresa; Silva, Nádia; Apolónio, Joana; Roberto, Vania Palma; Araújo, Inês Maria; Nóbrega, ClévioThe unprecedented rise in life expectancy observed in the last decades is leading to a global increase in the ageing population, and age-associated diseases became an increasing societal, economic, and medical burden. This has boosted major efforts in the scientific and medical research communities to develop and improve therapies to delay ageing and age-associated functional decline and diseases, and to expand...
