Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We sought to determine the molecular basis of the bi-directional changes in maturation status of brain cells, utilising primary mouse hippocampal (dentate gyrus) cultures as the in vitro hightrokghput assay system. Bioinformatics was also applied for the analysis and we identified several signal molecules that can be involved in the bi-directional changes. We next screened for biological conditions that are able to lead to the changes in cellular maturation status, identifying treatments of several chemicals that may induce the maturation status changes.
