Craniosynostosis is a congenital condition involving the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures during a newborn's development, caused by mutations in multiple genes. A commonly affected gene is FGFR2, which has various mutations linked to syndromic forms of craniosynostosis such as Crouzon, Apert, and Pfeiffer Syndromes. This webinar will cover the creation of human adult and pluripotent stem cells derived from craniosynostosis patients, and the application of genome editing techniques to develop and study disease models of monogenic bone disorders.
Key takeaways:
Explore the processes involved in creating human adult and pluripotent stem cells from patients with craniosynostosis.
Discover the techniques and applications of genome editing used to generate and study disease models of monogenic bone disorders.
Understand how disease models are developed and utilized to study the pathology and potential treatments for craniosynostosis and other monogenic bone disorders.
Format: Webinar of 30 minutes of research topics of Genome editing and in vitro disease modelling by Dr. Jeroen van de Peppel followed by a discussion.
