Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health concern. It refers to the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites to resist the…
Establishment of a Human Haploid Neural Stem Cell Line for Genome-Wide Genetic Analysis

Establishment of a Human Haploid Neural Stem Cell Line for Genome-Wide Genetic Analysis

In numerous animals, haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) have been developed. Due to spontaneous diploidization during differentiation, which weakens lineage-specific screens, mammals lack differentiated haploid…
