| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Induced-neuronal (iN) cells have attracted attention in that live human neuronal cells that are analyzable in a very short period can be obtained compared to iPS-derived neurons. There was a disadvantage on the efficiency of generating iN cells with using adult-derived fibroblasts. We successfully established a method of iN cell creation from a wide range of age regardless of age by devising the induction and culture conditions of this iN cell. By comparing iN cells derived from adult schizophrenia patients and healthy controls, we found a gene whose mRNA expression level is about 2-fold increased specifically in neurons of schizophrenic patients.
