Poster 28
The Boulind Suite
Presenter: Dr Zoe Nilsson, Product Manager, Axol Bioscience
Poster Overview
Dr. Zoe Nilsson will present data on the characterization of hiPSC-derived Sensory Neurons assessing the expression and function of the DRG-specific voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav1.7, Nav1.8 and Nav1.9) and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPM8. Functional responses were evaluated against typical pain inducing molecules and chemotherapy drugs. This data provides an in-depth characterization of Axol’s hiPSC-derived Sensory Neurons demonstrating a viable human cell-culture model for pioneering research and drug discovery on both nociceptive and neuropathic pain disorders.
