TLDR Spirulina extract helps stem cells become neuron cells safely.
This study investigated the effect of Spirulina algae extract on the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neuron cells. The results showed that Spirulina extract, at doses ranging from 50 to 200 ng/mL, significantly increased cell survival and differentiation into neural cells without any toxic effects. The findings suggest that Spirulina algae extract could be a promising therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases, as it effectively induces the differentiation of stem cells into neural cells.
