Structural modification of xanthohumol C and the effect on inducing differentiation in neural precursor cells

Destructive diseases concerning the nervous system are an increasing burden in our aging society. After the dogma of the non-regenerating nervous system had to be dropped, a new therapeutic approach arose – the regeneration strategy. In an optimal way, endogenous regeneration could be induced by small molecules using stimulation of differentiation of neural stem cells, without an invasive intervention.
