Research on the Human Astrocytes - midbrain is essential to the study of Alexander disease, brainstem gliomas, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, central pontine myelinolysis, Parkinson's disease-associated neuroinflammation, midbrain glioblastoma microenvironment, Huntington's disease progression, and astrogliosis in multiple sclerosis. The brain is the main component of the central nervous system (CNS) and is located within the cranial cavity. It consists of several major parts: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem. The brain is responsible for processing information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling cognition, emotions, and behavior. Together with the spinal cord, the brain forms the central nervous system. The Human Astrocytes - midbrain is to be used with Human Astrocyte Medium (Cat. No. ACM0107). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
