The Rise of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Glia Models of Neuroinflammation by Srishti Kala, Andrew G. Strutz, Moriah E. Katt

“…Unfortunately, the translation of findings from non-human models has left much to be desired. This review systematically discusses the role of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived glia and supporting cells within the CNS, including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, pericytes, and endothelial cells, to describe the state of the field and hope for future discoveries. hPSC-derived cells offer an expanded potential to study the pathobiology of neuroinflammation and immunomodulatory cascades that impact disease progression. …”
