| Description | Astrocyte Maturation Kit is used to rapidly and efficiently generate cortical-type astrocytes from astrocytic precursors derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) using the Astrocyte Differentiation Kit. Using this system, a highly pure population of astrocytes (> 70% S100B-positive and > 60% GFAP-positive astrocytes; < 15% doublecortin-positive neurons) can be generated from hPSCs in as few as 7 weeks and can be maintained long term in culture. Cells derived using these products are versatile tools for modeling human neurological development and disease, drug screening, toxicity testing, and cell therapy validation. |
