Custom Neural Differentiation

In recent years, NP cells have been served as a primary cell source for novel drug discovery against neurodegenerative diseases. Promising lead compounds can be screened for neural diseases treatment using cell types that the disease affects. The motor neuron phenotype derived from NP cells can be used to study spinal muscular atrophy. In addition, there are many receptors expressed on NP cells, such as G-protein coupled receptors, ion channels, and other drug targets. In this case, NP cells and their derivatives present great potentials for drug discovery and evaluation against multiple neurological diseases.
