title: iPSCs to the rescue in Alzheimer's research.
abstract: A crucial limitation to our understanding of Alzheimer's disease has been the inability to test hypotheses on live, patient-specific neurons. A recent study in Nature by Israel et al. (2012) reports that iPSC-derived neurons from AD patients recapitulate multiple aspects of disease pathology.
