iPSC Differentiated Neural Progenitor Cells

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are multipotent cells derived from iPSCs and ESCs that are self-renewing and have the potential to differentiate into various neuronal lineages. This makes them very attractive for in vitro patient-specific neuroscience research, whereby NSCs can be derived from patient-specific iPSCs and further differentiated into neurons and astrocytes.

Applied StemCell offers high-quality neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from fully characterized iPSC line, ASE-9211. These NSCs & NPCs have been derived using integration-free protocols and express relevant biomarkers. The NSCs/NPCs retain their multipotency and neural marker even after cryopreservation and passaging.  These fully characterized cells at low passage can be further differentiated, thus facilitating studies in cell replacement therapies and neuronal disease modeling. 

Advantages of choosing ASC’s iPSC-derived neural stem cells/neural progenitor cells:

  • High purity cells (≥95%) expressing neural stem cell marker: Nestin (other markers available upon request)
  • Fully characterized by immunocytochemistry and whole-genome profiling
  • Provides a consistent and reliable source of differentiated mature, functional neurons and astrocytes
  • Physiologically relevant cell line models

FAQs
Any other details you could please share on the NPCs?
Let's look at the leftmost illustration in the datasheet, ASE-9740: To generate this image, how much time (in days) passed between plating in 96 wells and fixing the cells? And what cell density was initially used?
Are the NPCs made through Embryoid body protocol or Monolayer protocol?
In the datasheet, it says at the end that "split the cells every 3-4 days. Does this mean that these cells can be maintained in culture for several passages? If so, how many passages?
