Astrocytes are subtypes of glial cells involved in metabolic, structural, homeostatic, and neuroprotective processes that help neurons maintain viability. Insulin-like growth factors IGF-1 and IGF-2 are known to have neuroprotective effects on neurons and glial cells through interaction with specific receptors. IGF forms a complex with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) in nervous tissue and is released from the complex via IGFBP proteolysis by specific proteases.

- * The study investigated calcium signaling in GABA-ergic medium spiny neurons derived from iPSCs created through different methods (lentivirus and Sendai virus) from the same donor's fibroblasts.
- * Results showed no significant differences in calcium signaling between neurons from both reprogramming methods, indicating compatibility for combining data from different iPSC models and enhancing biobanking potential.
