Effects of neural precursor cells’ abnormal migration

Neural cells derived from patients with bipolar disorder (BD) show a difference in the way they migrate as compared to controls, finds a study. This starts with a single layer of cells that roll up to form a tube called the neural tube. The key result of the work is that the neural precursor cells derived from stem cells from people with bipolar disorder showed a difference in the way they migrated as compared to neural precursors derived from stem cells of people without bipolar disorder (Controls).
