The First-Ever Stem Cell Model of PTSD
Leveraging NYSCF’s unique automation technology, researchers created neurons from the stem cells of PTSD-affected and non-affected combat veterans and exposed them to synthetic hormones mimicking the body’s stress response. This study, published in Nature Neuroscience, is the first to create a stem cell model of PTSD, showing unique features of hypersensitive PTSD-prone neurons to stress.
