Modelling epileptic encephalopathies using induced stem cells

遗传学将对我们诊断和治疗疾病的方式产生巨大影响。精准医学是一个相对较新的概念，它包括寻找疾病过程的遗传和功能标志物的方法，以便更好地针对特定患者的病理进行治疗。在这里，我们将探索干细胞的发展，以创建“盘中疾病”模型，用于开发新的治疗方法。

Genetics is poised to have a massive impact on how we diagnose and treat diseases. Precision medicine is a relatively new concept that has been put forward to encompass approaches to finding genetic and functional markers of a disease process so that better treatments that are specifically targeted to a specific patients pathology. Here we will explore the development of stem cells to create 'disease in a dish' models for severe forms of epilepsy to be used for development of new therapies.
