To establish drug assessment platform for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), three steps were performed: (i) Generation of iPSC-derived organoids (iCOs) both from normal and sporadic AD (sAD) participants, and CRISPR-Cas9 ApoE4 isogenic lines were used. (ii) Systems biology-based AD pathway simulation; Signaling network construction, network model validation, and identification of control nodes steps were conducted. (iii) Validation of drugs from the simulation; FDA-approved drugs were used, and the degree of AD pathogenesis was quantified by the high-contents screening (HCS) imaging system. Approximately, 1300 organoids from 11 participants were used for the drug assessment platform.
