Xeno-free induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells for in vivo applications | Journal of Translational Medicine

Generation and maintenance of NPCs NPCs were generated as previously described with modifications. In detail, 80.000 iPSCs per well were plated on day − 2 on a 12-well plate, coated with Vitronectin (StemMACS iPS-Brew XF (Miltenyi), supplemented with 2uM Thiazovivin) and incubated overnight. On day − 1, cells were washed once in PBS and the medium was changed to fresh StemMACS iPS-Brew …

Visit the News Hub Similar to itch, pleasant touch transmitted by specific neuropeptide and neural circuit Mice engage in grooming behavior, experiencing a phenomenon researchers call pleasant touch. Researchers from the Washington University Center for the Study of Itch and Sensory Disorders have identified a specific neuropeptide and a neural circuit that transmit pleasant touch from the skin to the …
