Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by oxidative stress associated with mitochondrial damages leading to neuronal cell death. To mitigate these damages and promote neuronal cytoprotection and neurogenesis, endogenous (Neuropeptide: octadecaneuropeptide (ODN)) or exogenous (Polyphenols: resveratrol (RSV) and apigenin (API)) natural neurotrophic factors could be used as therapeutic agents to promote neuronal differentiation of immature and pluripotent stem cells. ODN is a peptide produced by astrocytes and known as a powerful neuroprotective agent. It is therefore of interest of studying its effects on the mobilization of calcium, its ability to protect neuronal cells against apoptosis death caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and eva...
