Establishment of an Electrophysiological Platform for Modeling ALS with Regionally-Specific Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Astrocytes and Neurons

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocytes (hiPSC-A) and neurons (hiPSC-N) provide a powerful tool for modeling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) ...

Calcium regulation is a critical process in neurons, and Ca signaling is a major contributor to neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, combining calcium imaging with whole-cell Ca current recording, we provide a detailed protocol for measuring Ca homeostasis in dopaminergic (DA) neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). This approach can be applied to investigate the role of Ca homeostasis in neuronal functionality as well as in disease processes. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kim et al. (2020).
