| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been suggested that patient-specific iPS cells are promising resource to reveal the mechanisms of mental disorders. Lines of evidences indicate that abnormalities during neural development play a critical role in the development of mental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. However, little is known about molecular mechanisms of the development of mental disorders. To unveil it, here we improved differentiation method for neural induction from human iPS cells and investigated possible mechanisms of the development of mental disorders.
