Can we use CRISPR screens to identify genes that drive neural stem cell aging?
Super excited to see this work published @Nature!
Huge congrats to Tyson @ruetz_tyson, Angie Pogson, @kashiwagi_chloe, and all authors! Great collaboration with @MCBassik!

- Cave fish have a mutation in the insulin receptor that makes them fat and helps them survive famine. The same mutation leads to insulin resistance and diabetes in humans. How do cavefish avoid the deleterious effects of insulin resistance? Cool study!! disq.us/t/30mlvso
