Researchers uncovered cell-specific genetic roots of schizophrenia, shedding light on its molecular mechanisms.

Researchers have uncovered cell-specific genetic roots of schizophrenia, shedding light on the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying the complex mental health disorder. Comprehensive genetic and cellular analyses were used to map how genes known to increase schizophrenia risk affect specific brain cells, providing valuable insights into targeted treatment development. The study, published in Science, was led by a team from McLean Hospital and offers a better understanding of schizophrenia's cellular mechanisms.
