The research that is compiled in this thesis can be divided in two parts. The first part, consisting of four chapters, is centered around the role of epigenetic dysregulation in the etiopathophysiology of sporadic alzheimer's disease (sAD). In addition to providing insights into the most recent developments in neuroepigenomic studies of this disease, the first part of the thesis also touches upon remaining challenges, and provides a future outlook on possible developments in the field. The second part, which includes three more chapters, is focused on the application of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based disease models for the study of AD, including but not limited to mechanistic studies on epigenetic dysregulation using this platform. Aside from outlining the research that has been conducted using iPSC-based models for sAD to date, the second part of the thesis also provides insights into the acquisition of disease-relevant neural cultures based on directed differentiation of iPSCs, and furthermore includes an experimental approach for the establishment of such a model system.
