Direct Neuronal Reprogramming of Mouse Astrocytes into Neurons

-- views • 1:08 min

Transcription

Begin with a multi-well plate containing genetically altered astrocytes. These cells are adhered to a coverslip placed in an astrocyte medium.

These genetically modified cells express transformation factors that force their transition into neurons. This process is called neuronal reprogramming.

Take a neuronal differentiation medium containing specific molecules and the B27 supplement. Together, these components provide essential nutrients and factors for differentiation.

Replace the astrocyte medium with the neuronal differentiation medium.

Incubate the astrocytes for a required duration.

During incubation, the transformation factors expressed by the astrocytes trigger a sequence of molecular events that enable the conversion of an astrocyte into a neuron.

Converted neurons have smaller cell bodies and elongated processes, similar to typical neurons.
