GIC subtypes cultured under different conditions (1% (fetal bovine serum) FBS + 1 µM RA) exhibited varied potential for differentiation into neural lineages. Most proneural and classical GICs displayed trilineage differentiation potential, while neural GICs rarely differentiated into the oligodendrocytic lineage. Mesenchymal GICs were less likely to differentiate into astrocytic, neuronal, and oligodendrocytic lineages. One of representative results of each subtypes are illustrated in Figure 3. Scale bars: 100 μm.
