| Research Abstract |
To reveal the involvements of peroxisome during early developmental stage and obtain some clues as to the underlying cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorders(PBD_s), we performed neural differentiation studies using mouse embryonic stem(mES) cells and human induced pluripotent stem(iPS) cells. Few punctate staining patterns of catalase were observed in neural precursor cells and oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiated from mES cells. Furthermore, we established iPS cells from fibroblasts derived from PBD patients, and performed neural differentiation studies using SDIA method. There is no obvious difference in efficiency of neural differentiation between a normal healthy individual and PBD patients.
