Hydrogel platform facilitating astrocytic differentiation through cell mechanosensing and YAP-mediated transcription

Astrocytes are multifunctional glial cells that are essential for brain functioning.Most existing methods to induce astrocytes from stem cells are inefficient, requiring couples of weeks.Here, we designed an alginate hydrogel-based method to realize high-efficiency astrocytic differentiation from jmannino.com human neural stem cells.Comparing to th
