The Foundational Role of N2 Supplement in Neural Cell Culture
•
6 min read
Originally developed in the early 1980s, the N2 supplement revolutionized neural cell culture by providing a chemically defined, serum-free alternative to traditional fetal bovine serum. The specific components of N2 supplement are instrumental for ensuring the viability, growth, and proper differentiation of neuronal cells, minimizing experimental variability and supporting highly specialized neurobiological studies.
