But it turned out this wasn’t the whole picture. Williamson’s research investigated the role astrocytes, non-neuron brain cells, play in the read-and-write operations that go on in our heads.

We use induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) representing neurological and psychiatric diseases. Differentiation of iPSCs into neurons, astrocytes, microglia allow us to analyze aberrant gene and ...
