UCI MIND Researchers Use Human Stem Cell Models To Understand Immunity In Alzheimer’s Disease

Amanda McQuade, a graduate student in Mathew Blurton-Jones’ lab at UCI MIND, discusses findings from their new study using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), donated from participants at the UCI Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, and CRISPR gene editing to improve understanding of the role of immunity in Alzheimer’s disease.
