Abstract |
Astrocytes play fundamental roles in the establishment and maintenance of tissue homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS). To examine these different functions in vitro, it is important to be able to generate pure astrocyte cultures. While many "enriched" astrocyte cultures have been described, these are complicated by the presence of other contaminating cell types, such as microglia. In this chapter, we describe a method in which microglia-free astrocyte cultures are generated from neurospheres and also include an immunocytochemical approach to demonstrate the purity of these cultures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 July 2012.
All research outputs
#20,161,674
of 22,671,366 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#9,820
of 13,037 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#218,991
of 240,879 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#410
of 463 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,671,366 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,037 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 240,879 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 463 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
