Fig. 4From: Alyssum homolocarpum seed oil (AHSO), containing natural alpha linolenic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid and β-sitosterol, increases proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in vitroThe effects of ALA and AHSO on differentiation of cultured eNSCs toward astrocyte and oligodendrocyte cells. eNSCs dissociated from primary neurospheres were differentiated in 1% FBS-containing medium lacking EGF. Five days after treatment with various concentrations of ALA or AHSO, cells were fixed with 4% PFA and processed by immunocytochemistry. Representative images of double immunofluorescence for astrocytes (GFAP, red) and oligodendrocytes (MBP, green). The blue color indicates nuclear staining (Hoechst).
