Product Description
Schwann cells are the principal glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They are responsible for creating myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers (axons) which are crucial for maintaining nerve health and normal function, and they also support axon regeneration after injury [1]. In vitro cultured Schwann cells are useful tools to study their biology, development, pathophysiology and potential relationship with neurons. These studies involve isolating or differentiating Schwann cells from various sources, including primary PNS tissue or stem cells. Over the past few years, there has been considerable progress in the iPSC derived Schwann cells research. Normal or patient donor specific iPSC-derived Schwann cells offer an attractive experimental platform to study the development of PNS system, model Schwann cells related diseases, and accelerate predictive drug toxicology tests, and advance potential therapies [2].
iXCells® Schwann Cell Maintenance Medium (SKU: MD-0124) is a complete medium for iPSC derived Schwann cells culture. It is a serum (low concentration) and antibiotic-antimycotic containing medium, without any additive components required for cell recovery and culture process. The low-serum condition provides the researchers with a more controlled and defined system for the following high-throughput drug testing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine research.
