Human cerebral organoids as a therapeutic drug screening model for Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease

Abstract Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease (CJD) is a fatal, currently incurable, neurodegenerative disease. The search for candidate treatments would be greatly facilitated by the availability of human cell-based models of prion disease. Recently, an induced pluripotent stem cell derived human cerebral org...
