Abstract

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and have unlocked new possibilities for understanding the mechanisms governing human biology, physiology, and genetics. However, hiPSC-derivatives have traditionally been utilized in two-dimensional monocultures, in contrast to the multi-systemic interactions that influence cells in the body. We will discuss recent advances in generating more complex hiPSC-based systems using three-dimensional organoids, tissue-engineering, microfluidic organ-chips, and humanized animal systems. While hiPSC differentiation still requires optimization, these next-generation multi-lineage technologies can augment the biomedical researcher's toolkit and enable more realistic models of human tissue function.

  • Astrocyte and microglia iPSC models partially recapitulate the transcriptomes of their in vivo counterparts and may capture authentic neurodegenerative disease phenotypes.

    “Astrocyte and microglia iPSC models partially recapitulate the transcriptomes of their in vivo counterparts and may capture authentic neurodegenerative disease phenotypes [345,406,480,481,482,483,484].”

    From Revisiting the Pathogenesis of X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (2025) · cites this paper as [483]

    The Introduction’s section on hiPSC-derived assembloids (page unavailable) says multi-lineage models have been used to study neural–glial interplay in Alzheimer’s disease, supporting the possibility of modeling neurodegenerative disease. But neither that section nor the transcriptomics discussion establishes that iPSC-derived astrocytes and microglia partially recapitulate the transcriptomes of their in vivo counterparts; the Conclusions also caution that hiPSC-derived tissues have not been shown to be transcriptionally identical to adult tissue.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
