Drug Discovery Platform Targeting M. tuberculosis with Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Macrophages
3 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
A major limitation in anti-tuberculosis drug screening is the lack of reliable and scalable models for homogeneous human primary macrophage cells of non-cancer origin. Here we report a modified protocol for generating homogeneous populations of macrophage-like cells from human embryonic stem cells. The induced macrophages, referred to as iMACs, presented similar transcriptomic profiles and characteristic...
