摘要

A major barrier to developing effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is our incomplete understanding of the underlying cellular mechanisms. Genetic screens in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons can elucidate such mechanisms. Genome-wide screens using CRISPR interference and CRISPR activation provide complementary biological insights and may reveal potential therapeutic targets.
