Description

Stanford University researchers have found that lab-grown astrocytes develop at the same rate as human astrocyte cells in the body.According to UPI, astrocytes are star-shaped brain cells. They make up a greater proportion of brain cells in humans than in other species.Human cortical spheroid (hCS)-grown astrocytes develop at the same rate as astrocytes found in the human brain.Astrocytes from hCSs less than six months old multiplied faster and acted very similar to astrocytes found in babies in the womb. https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2017/... http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
