An Efficient Platform for Astrocyte Differentiation from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Summary: Growing evidence implicates the importance of glia, particularly astrocytes, in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here, we describe a rapid and robust method for the differentiation of highly pure populations of replicative astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs),...
