Summary:
The authors demonstrate a method for deriving astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells using SOX9 overexpression for 6 days. These astrocytes demonstrate functionality observed in mature astrocytes like glutamate uptake, growth factor excretion, and support neuronal growth and function. Cocultures of iPSC-derived astrocytes and neurons are compared to primary cultures on the Maestro MEA.
