Researchers use new CRISPR-based strategy to replicate disease in cells

With a new strategy they developed, Rockefeller scientists used the CRISPR genome editing system to engineer neurons so they looked like those in the brains of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. This development will aid biomedical research by making it easier to create cellular models of disease. More »
