Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a system to elucidate neuromuscular pathology using motor neuron disease-specific iPS cells. (1) We created a reporter to visualize the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and succeeded in visualizing and quantifying NMJ formation. (2) We succeeded in capturing part of the phenotype using disease-specific iPS cells of SBMA.
