Human Induced Neural Stem Cells (HiNSC-DLK)

Description

A key feature of these Human Induced Neural Stem Cells HiNSC-DLK is their robust differentiation into TUJ1-positive neurons within just four days, irrespective of the media composition. This rapid differentiation makes them ideal for use in innervated co-cultures. Furthemore, cells demonstrate the ability to migrate, engraft, and contribute to both the central and peripheral nervous systems thereby making them a useful 3D human brain model. Note: Trypan blue may produce false-positive viability readings immediately after thawing or subculture, temporarily overestimating cell death. HiNSC-DLK cells can transiently take up the dye due to membrane stress while remaining viable. We recommend confirming viability by microscopic inspection and allowing 24 hours of recovery before re-assessment.
