abstract = {Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common neurodegenerative
disease, is characterized by extracellular deposits of
amyloid peptides (Aβ), within senile plaques, and
intracellular aggregation of hyperphosphorylated Tau protein
causing neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). AD is also defined
by an extensive neuronal loss and chronic neuroinflammation
mediated by microglial cells and astrocytes surrounding the
lesions. Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have
pointed out the strong contribution of neuroinflammation, in
particular microglial responses, in the progression of AD.
Therefore, deciphering cellular and molecular mechanisms
underlying these neuroinflammatory processes may pave the
way to the identification of new targets and biomarkers of
AD. The generation of patient neural cells using induced
pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has helped to
overcome the lack of success in modeling familial and
sporadic AD. To identify new pathways involved in
Alzheimer"s disease, we have set up, in our laboratory, a
method to generate microglial cells using patient derived
monocytes and iPSCs. The generated microglia-like cells have
been then characterized for their phenotypes and functions
regarding the genetic background and upon various
stimulatory conditions.},
