Abstract: Disclosed herein are kits comprising transcription factors for inducing a fibroblast cell into an induced embryonic neural progenitor cell. The induced embryonic neural progenitor cell is then capable of differentiating into an astrocyte, an oligodendrocyte or a neuron. Also disclosed are the uses of the kit as a platform for selecting a drug candidate to treat neurological diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to exercisers having information management system comprising a main frame of the exerciser, a measuring module, a signal processing module and an identifier generating module. The measuring module measures the movement of the exerciser and/or the physical status of the user and collects signals from the equipment and/or user. The signal processing module processes the signals received and then generates fitness information and/or physical information. The identifier generating module converts the information into an identifier and displays on a monitor. The user can easily obtain the identifier by using mobile devices, without printing, for him or her to save, manage and utilize the information.
