iPSC Culture Protocol Videos

Watch our iPSC culture protocol videos to learn how to culture iPSCs and iPSC-derived neural cells.

English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish videos are available now, with more languages coming soon!

 

At the EDDU, we developed a method with microfabricated disk (EB disk-948 from eNUVIO) to scale up the generation of hMOs (human midbrain organoids). This opens up the possibility to generate larger numbers of hMOs, in a manner that minimizes the amount of labor required, while decreasing variability and maintaining the viability of these hMOs over time.

This video will describe the methodology to generate hMOs from a single EB-Disk containing 948 microwells.

The Neuro’s EDDU is also pleased to share our updated  protocol for generating dopaminergic neurons from  iPSCs through the use of a  Microfabricated EB Disk. You can access the protocol here: https://zenodo.org/record/8256637

How to Access iPSCs

At the EDDU we have a catalogue of iPSC lines from healthy individuals and from patients with neurological disorders that can be freely accessed for a small fee. Our cells are for experimental use only.

How to access the iPSC catalogue:

  • Click “Open data access” as login
  • Select at the top-left “Open data” tab
  • Click “iPSC catalogue”
