  • Mammalian extraembryonic endoderm cells and methods of isolation
    Publication number: 20080182328
    Abstract: An isolated mammalian extraembryonic endoderm-like cell line is provided. Methods for producing isolated mammalian extraembryonic endoderm-like cell line derived from a mammalian pluripotent stem cell culture are provided. Primate or human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) spontaneously generate the primate or human extraembryonic endoderm-like cell line wherein the extraembryonic endoderm-like cells sustain the pluripotence of the primate or human ESCs.

  • Method for neural stem cell differentiation using 5HT-1A agonists
    Patent number: 7132287
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for differentiating a neural stem cell into a neuronal cell such as a neuroblast or a neuron in vitro or in vivo. Particularly, the invention provides for a method for neural stem cell differentiation by contacting the neural stem cell with a 5HT1A ligand or agonist.

    Date of Patent: November 7, 2006
    Assignee: Psychiatric Genomics, Inc.
    Inventors: Prithi Rajan, C. Anthony Altar
  • Multi-parameter high throughput screening assays (MPHTS)
    Publication number: 20050181433
    Abstract: The present invention relates to screening methods and assays that are referred to herein as multi-parameter hight throughput screening (MPHTS) assays. These MPHTS assays are useful for identifying candidate pharmaceutical compounds. In particular, the screening methods of this invention may be used to identify compounds that have potential therapeutic benefits for the treatment of neuropscyhiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder (BAD), autism and Alzheimer's disease to name a few.
