Celther Human Astrocytes are normal human cells derived from human induced neural stem cells.

Astrocytes are glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord that play a critical role in maintenance, support, and repair of nervous tissue. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, respond to CNS injury, and play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of ischemic neuronal death.

When used together with Celther Astrocyte Medium, Celther Human Astrocytes are highly mature and differentiated GFAP positive cells with the typical star-like morphology.

Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) can be used to study the function of the central nervous system and how neural cells interact.
