Oh, I’d forgotten about that post.
Yes, I even emailed Fred Gage and Honjung Song, the principal investigators. I told them to include at least one stem cell line from a patient with deficit schizophrenia, because it’s a rare form of illness with very poor outcome. They didn’t respond to my message, so I don’t know if they will consider my advice or not.
Anyway, this thing will help because they will be screening many drugs on tissue developed from the stem cells, and they will see the result. This will help to filter out the drugs with potentially harmful effects and will considerably speed up drug discovery. But don’t ask me for more details because I really don’t know how they will proceed.
