| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When patients injured peripheral nerve, nerve suture or transfer is performed now in operation rooms. But axon grows approximately 1 mm per day after surgeries, so we have to wait a lot of time to get injured nerve function recovered . Sekido has researched incomplete facial nerve palsy with murine model. Kida and Takayama have researched ways of direct reprogramming of stem cells to neural progenitor cells.
In this research, we tried to make artificial bundles of axon from neural progenitor cells. We have finally revealed how to induce neural progenitor cells effectively from murine stromal vascular fraction.
