A stem cell model could help unravel the complex biology behind some psychiatric disorders

by The Mount Sinai Hospital Graphical abstract. Credit: Cell Reports (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2022.110877 Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have applied a novel stem cell model to map disease risk variants in human neurons, which could help provide insights into the biological mechanisms that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. The...
