Local researchers can produce GABAergic neurons in a single step

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore and National Neuroscience Institute have developed a new protocol to streamline the process of using human stem cells to mass produce GABAergic neurons (GNs) in the laboratory. This new protocol provides scientists with a robust source of GNs to study many psychiatric and neurological disorders.
