Quick Access to Human Astrocytic Software that Drives Neuronal Hardware

Publication date: 9 October 2018Source: Stem Cell Reports, Volume 11, Issue 4Author(s): Anders Lundin, Anna FalkAstrocytes have important functions in the brain and their deregulation may cause disease. Current ways to derive astrocytes from pluripotent stem cells are labor, time, and resource intensive, but in this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Li et al. present a faster method to produce functional astrocytes using transcription factors.
