Evaluation of the susceptibility of neurons and neural stem/progenitor cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells to anticancer drugs

Various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, can induce acute or delayed neurotoxicity in humans. Because isolation of human primary neurons is extremely difficult, toxicity tests for these agents have been performed using in vivo or in vitro models. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) ca...
