Consistently Differentiating Astrocytes from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Controlling the effects of animal serum in cell culture workflows is challenging due to its unpredictable composition and variability in production. Additionally, evidence suggests that serum can negatively affect astrocyte cell culture.

Watch this webinar to discover a consistent, serum-free method to differentiate astrocytes for various downstream assays. Dr. Erin Knock reviews protocols for efficiently differentiating astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in a serum-free media system. You'll learn methods to obtain good-quality neural progenitor cells, which are critical for downstream differentiation, as well as various cryopreservation points to save time and increase consistency. She also talks about the protein and transcriptional profiles and autophagy levels of astrocytes generated using serum-free media.
