Researchers from the group of Gary L. Dunbar at Central Michigan University, Michigan, USA have recently shown the ability of adenovirally generated rat iPSCs to survive and differentiate in the striatum of rats [6], and now in a study in Stem Cells Translational Medicine, they focus on the efficacy of transplantation of these cells into the 3 - nitropropionic acid (3 - NP) rat model of HD [7], which induces cell death by energy - depleting mechanisms providing an accurate model of cell loss and replicates many features of the disease [8].
