Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for efficiently differentiating neural stem cells into astrocytes and, more particularly, to a cell conversion-based method for more efficiently differentiating human neural stem cells into astrocytes that exhibit immune response suppression ability within a short period of time. Unlike a conventional method, the method for differentiating neural stem cells into astrocytes by using a differentiation medium containing a combination of several cytokines, according to the present invention, involves a shortened differentiation time and has excellent differentiation efficiency, and the differentiated astrocytes exhibit immune response suppression ability, and thus can be useful as an agent for treating various brain diseases such as degenerative neurological diseases.
