Knocking Out CNPY3: A New Tool for Stem Cell Research

First, let's talk about the CNPY3 gene. This gene is like a helper for a group of proteins known as toll-like receptors (TLRs). It helps these proteins fold correctly and get to where they need to go. Now, imagine you have a special kind of stem cell, called human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). These
