ORLANDO, FLORIDA – Researchers from Hesperos and the University of Central Florida have developed a groundbreaking model using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons to better understand and combat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Their research, published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, aims to improve our understanding and treatment of the disease.
The NIH has awarded Hesperos Inc. a $2 million dollar research grant to develop an advanced, animal free platform to test the potency of Botulinum Toxin (BoT).
