Newswise — Oak Brook, ILVolume 29, Issue 2 of SLAS Discovery features two review articles, six original research articles covering phenotypic screening perspectives, medulloblastoma therapies and interventions for neurodegenerative diseases.

Reviews

Original Research

This article presents an in vitro model for studying tau aggregation, a process implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons expressing an aggregation-prone version of tau. This versatile approach can be routinely applied in screening projects, offering a relatively short timeline for generating data and facilitating the study of potential therapeutic interventions for tau-related neurodegenerative diseases.
