Neuron, 71(5), 799-811. "We found that 5 ng/ml of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HBEGF) was effective at keeping astrocytes alive compared to base conditions. HBEGF was very potent and consistently able to promote survival of astrocytes in serum-free culture (41.1% ± 3.2% astrocytes survived, p < 0.001; Figures 2A and S1F) for as long as 2 weeks and the cells extended multiple processes". https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2011.07.022 |
