Abstract excerpt
The directed generation of pure astrocyte cultures from pluripotent stem cells has proven difficult. Generation of defined pluripotent-stem-cell derived astrocytes would allow new approaches to the investigation of plasticity and heterogeneity of astrocytes. We here describe a two-step differentiation scheme resulting in the generation of murine embryonic stem cell (mESC) derived astrocytes (MEDA), as...
