Hydrocortisone (cortisol) is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. It can be used as a supplement in culture medium for oligodendrocytes, colon cells, and epithelial cells.
| Mechanism of Action | Hydrocortisone interacts with glucocorticoid receptors and regulates various signaling pathways. |
| Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications | Hydrocortisone has been used as a supplement in culture media for oligodendrocytes, colon cells and epithelial cells. |
