Lesion-induced cellular models provide controlled environments to study neurodegeneration, repair mechanisms, and therapeutic responses. These models simulate critical pathological conditions, including neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress, by applying specific proteins or chemical compounds to replicate disease features.
Applications include:
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): Mimicking Aβ and tau pathology
Parkinson’s Disease (PD): Modeling dopaminergic neuron degeneration
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Inducing motor neuron toxicity
Epilepsy: Studying neuronal hyperexcitability
