For neuronal differentiation, induction medium containing Neurobasal media (Gibco, USA), B27 supplement (Gibco, USA), EGF and FGF2 (10 ng/ml each) (PeproTech Asia), L-Glutamine (Gibco, USA) PenStrep (Gibco, USA) was used. The induction protocol was carried out for 12 days with media change on every 3rd day. Another set of study group included induction of hMSCs using the above mentioned induction media cocktail for 8 days, followed by addition of BDNF (50 ng/ml) on 9th day. After termination of induction period at 12 days in both the study groups, the cells were used for further experiments18 (link), 20 (link).
