Overview

Despite growing scientific evidence that essential oils possess therapeutic benefits, research on their activities in complex human disease models is scarce. We analyzed the biological activities of essential oils (EO) and blends of EO and turmeric extracts (EOB; provided by dōTERRA) in StemoniX microBrain 3-D neurospheres containing iPSC-derived human cortical neurons (both glutamatergic and GABAergic) and astrocytes from a single source. This study suggests that EOB may have a protective effect on the overall health of human iPSC-derived neurons in response to environmental stress.
