Biochem/physiol Actions Neurodazine is a promoter of neurogenesis. It induces a generation of new nerve cells from skeletal muscle fibers both immature, differentiated myotubes and mature skeletal muscle. Neurodazine promotes the expression of neuron-specific markers in treated C2C12 cells (neurogenesis). In addition, in conjunction with a microtubule-destabilizing agent, Neurodazine allows neurogenic conversion of both differentiated immature myotubes and mature skeletal muscle. Neurodazine is a potential alternative approach to using stem cells. |
