Torres C, Zafar F, Tsai Y, Vazquez J, Gallagher M, McLaughlin I, et al.
HGG Adv . 2022 Sep; 3(4):100137. PMID: 36092952
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is an autosomal-dominant disorder caused by an expanded pentanucleotide repeat in the gene. This repeat expansion, when fully penetrant, has a size of 850-4,500 repeats....

Srinivasaraghavan V, Zafar F, Schule B
Bio Protoc . 2022 Aug; 12(14). PMID: 35978575
To optimize differentiation protocols for stem cell-based modeling applications, it is essential to assess the change in gene expression during the differentiation process. This allows controlling its differentiation efficiency into...
