Journal Club: CRISPR screening uncovers a central requirement for HHEX in pancreatic lineage commitment and plasticity restriction

by Lucas Unger Yang et al. demonstrate that HHEX is a lineage-restricting transcription factor essential for pancreas specification from foregut progenitors. Through CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening combined with hiPSC differentiation and single-cell multiomics, the study reveals that deletion of HHEX diverts…
