The number of
glial cells produced by each stem cell could vary.
The glial cells produced different versions of the human APOE protein, or had no APOE.
Not exact matches
Glial cells, when activated,
produce proinflammatory cytokines that may further damage the nerve
cells.
They are
produced during development from stem
cells called
glial progenitors.
In contrast to mouse vRGs, which
produce 10 to 100 daughter
cells during brain development, a single human oRG can
produce thousands of daughter neurons, as well as
glial cells — non-neuronal brain
cells increasingly recognized as being responsible for a broad array of maintenance functions in the brain.
In rodents and humans, the developing cortex contains a layer of neural stem
cells called radial
glial cells that resides near the fluid - filled ventricles and
produces cells that are precursors to neurons.
Gan uses iPSCs to
produce brain
cells, such as neurons or
glial cells, because they are relevant to neurodegenerative disease.
