Protoplasmic astrocytes enhance the ability of neural stem cells to differentiate into neurons in vitro.
Protoplasmic astrocytes have been reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects on neurons, but there has been no direct evidence for a functional relationship between protoplasmic astrocytes and neural stem cells (NSCs). In this study, we examined neuronal differentiation of NSCs induced by protoplas...
