A hPSC-based platform to discover gene-environment interactions that impact human β-cell and dopamine neuron survival

Diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's manifest based on interactions between genes and environment. Here, the authors find among a panel of cell types that propargite, a common pesticide, induces pancreatic β-cell and dopamine neuron death and that loss of the gene GSTT1 confers hypersensit...
