Product Overview

Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) can be used to study the function of the central nervous system and how neural cells interact. Astrocytes are glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord that play a critical role in maintenance, support, and repair of nervous tissue. Cryopreserved NHA are shipped as frozen primary-derived cultures.
