A collaborative effort between the Gan lab at the Appel Institute and the Kampmann lab at UCSF reveals regulators of disease states in a recent publication out now in Nature Neuroscience. The authors devised a fast and efficient method to generate induced microglia from iPSCs and developed CRISPRi/a platforms that can systematically discover regulators of microglia states and allow researchers to determine their function and therapeutic value.
