Generation of 3D In vitro Models of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Massimiliano Caiazzo, Assistant Professor, Utrecht University

Neurodegenerative disease dynamics is still elusive, especially the first steps that trigger neurodegeneration. To date the only available human models consist of 2D neuronal cultures, which cannot represent the complex of etiopathogenic mechanisms. In my lecture, I will discuss what are the available techniques to model a 3D human nervous system and how to improve them to study neurodegeneration in the human brain.
