Using CRISPR in iPS cells to modify platelet function

University of Reading Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Platelets are the small cells in the blood whose job it is to prevent bleeding. Under normal conditions, when they encounter a damaged blood vessel they become activated and form a thrombus. Read more
