| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the functional analysis of sFRP1 and b-catenin in mice brain for development of therapeutic agents on skeletal dysplasia. In the results, sFRP1 and b-catenin were highly expression in the VZ of embryonic and postnatal cortices suggesting that sFRP1 may regulate b-catenin and neural stem cell development. Moreover, sFRP1 may promote neuronal migration by stimulating neurite growth.
