Driving precision neurology forwards with iPSCs and new assays
Precision medicine in neurology is limited by a dearth of clinically relevant models. However, here Dr Evangelos Kiskinis, Assistant Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discusses how new technologies such as bioelectronic assays enable real-time, long-term analysis of neurological diseases in a dish, offering a pathway towards identifying…
