Valproic acid‐induced hepatotoxicity in alpers syndrome is associated with mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening‐dependent apoptotic sensitivity in an induced pluripotent stem cell model

Abstract

AHS iPSCs-Hep are more sensitive to the VPA-induced mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic pathway, and this effect is mediated by mPTP opening. Toxicity models in genetic diseases using iPSCs enable the evaluation of drugs for therapeutic targets.
