Figure 5. Schematic representation of media choice options available for GBM primary culture.

To select all cell types possible, one can grow GBM cells in NSC media (with EGF and FGF-2 as growth factors), in PDGF-enriched media (a.k.a. OPC media), in astrocyte specific media (HBEGF as the main growth factor) or in Serum-enriched media. Other possibilities might also be considered.
