Disclosed herein are Pifithrin compounds, methods of treating Rett Syndrome, brain fusion organoids comprising a fusion between a cerebral cortex (Cx) organoid and the ganglionic eminence (GE) organoid, one of which comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of neural cells having a loss of function mutation in the Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene, and methods of using the brain fusion organoid to screen for candidate compounds that treat, reduce, or inhibit the abnormal neural activities caused by MECP2 − mutations.
本文披露了Pifithrin化合物,治疗雷特综合征的方法,包括脑融合器官样体,其中包括大脑皮层(Cx)器官样体和神经节突起(GE)器官样体之间的融合,其中一个器官样体包括、基本上由或完全由在甲基-CpG结合蛋白2(MECP2)基因中具有功能丧失突变的神经细胞,并且使用脑融合器官样体来筛选治疗、减少或抑制由MECP2突变引起的异常神经活动的候选化合物的方法。
