Assay Window Recommendation & Scientific Caveats Hypoxic Skew Detected

Optimal Window for ASD Synaptic Refinement: 160 – 210 DIV

Glial marker GFAP expression emerges ~4 weeks earlier than in vivo timing due to in vitro metabolic/hypoxic stress responses, confounding premature gliogenesis phenotypes.

Mechanistic Origin: Transcriptomic analysis reveals that cellular clocks uncouple under rotary suspension. Neuronal deep-to-upper transition stalls at ~16-18 PCW equivalence while astroglial differentiation accelerates prematurely via HIF1α / ER-stress cross-talk.
