High-throughput platforms for genetic perturbation screening using CRISPR/Cas9 in human iPSC-derived macrophages for drug discovery

Human induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC) models have revolutionised drug discovery, offering high translational relevance for recapitulating disease biology and thereby the potential to help reduce drug attrition. Macrophages are pivotal for maintaining tissue homeostasis and orchestrating immune responses; their dysregulation underpins several diseases, including autoinflammatory disorders,…
