Leveraging Human iPSC-Derived Astrocytes for Neurological Research and Therapy
This episode focuses on astrocytes, an essential cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), and how bit.bio's innovative technology is transforming research in this area.
By watching this episode you will learn about:
- Astrocytes, their location in the body, and their functions.
- How astrocytes interact with other cell types within the CNS.
- The complexities and potential diseases associated with dysfunctional CNS systems.
- The applications of astrocytes in vitro for research and drug discovery
- The unique aspects of bit.bio’s human iPSC-derived astrocytes (ioAstrocytes) and their advantages for scientific research.
Understanding astrocytes and their role in CNS biology is crucial for advancing research and drug discovery, especially in the context of neurological diseases. bit.bio’s deterministic cell programming technology, opti-ox, offers a reliable and scalable method for producing high-quality human cells at vast amounts, providing scientists with better tools to study complex biological systems and develop new treatments. This episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in neuroscience, the modelling of multi-cellular CNS systems, and the future of medical research.
