Abstract

Human olfactory neurosphere-derived (ONS) cells are derived from the olfactory mucosa and display some progenitor- and neuronal cell-like properties, making them useful models of neurological disorders. However, they lack several important characteristics of true neurons, which can be overcome using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) -derived neurons. Here we describe, for the first time, the generation and validation of an iPSC line from an olfactory biopsy from a control cohort member. This data lays the groundwork for future reprogramming of ONS cells, which can be used to generate neuronal models and compliment current ONS cell-based investigations into numerous neurological disorders.
