A team of scientists from UC San Francisco and the National Institutes of Health have made another CRISPR first, one that could fundamentally change the way scientists study brain diseases.
The researchers used a technique that uses a special version of CRISPR developed at UCSF to systematically change gene activity in human neurons generated from stem cells, the first successful fusion of cell types derived from stem cells and of CRISPR screening technologies.
