Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chromosomal abnormalities, such as Trisomy for human chromosome 21 (Down syndrome), are thought to be the most common cause of mental retardation. To gain insight into the underlying cellular pathogenesis, we made a new system to monitor differentiation process from forebrain neural precursor cells into interneurons and oligodendrocytes by using a human artificial chromosome vector.
