Outline of Final Research Achievements

In forensic practice, it is very difficult to diagnose the cause of death such as fatal arrhythmia and metabolic disease. induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from fibloblast can differentiate cardiomyo-cell and hepatocyte. This means that forensic pathologist easily diagnose functional disease to check electrogram of cardiocyte and evaluate hepatocyte function. In this study, we made iPS cells from an case of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Actually, we collected skin tissue and cultured fibroblast from it. After culturing, iPS cells were developed. In future, we will check pluripotent of the cells and will differentiate cardiomyo-cell and hepatocyte.
