  1. Neuroblastoma cell lines such as SH-SY5Y are the most frequently utilized models in neurodegenerative research, and their use has advanced the understanding of the pathology of neurodegeneration over the past few decades.

  2. Previous reports have shown that individual neurons of the brain can display somatic genomic mosaicism of unknown function.
