Effects of different culture media on optimization of primary neuronal cell culture for in vitro models assay
Background: In vitro model studies are becoming increasingly popular for experimental research designs. They include isolation and expansion of cells of a particular tissue, such as the nervous tissue which contributes to understanding the underlying mechanisms in many pathologies. It enables the scrutinization of intracellular signaling pathways responsible for cell death. OBJECTIVES: In the ...
متن کاملA Study on Transdifferentiation of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells into Neuronal and Glial-Like Cells In Vitro by Different Inducers
Introduction: There are some evidences to suggest that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) not only differentiate into mesodermal cells, but also adopt the fate of endodermal and ectodermal cell types. BMSCs can be a valuable cell source as an autograft for clinical application involving regeneration of the central nervous system. Bone marrow stromal cells can be expanded rapidly in vitro and can...
متن کاملFunctional connectivity in in vitro neuronal assemblies
Complex network topologies represent the necessary substrate to support complex brain functions. In this work, we reviewed in vitro neuronal networks coupled to Micro-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) as biological substrate. Networks of dissociated neurons developing in vitro and coupled to MEAs, represent a valid experimental model for studying the mechanisms governing the formation, organization and c...
متن کاملMorphological characterization of in vitro neuronal networks.
We use in vitro neuronal networks as a model system for studying self-organization processes in the nervous system. We follow the neuronal growth process, from isolated neurons to fully connected two-dimensional networks. The mature networks are mapped into connected graphs and their morphological characteristics are measured. The distributions of segment lengths, node connectivity, and path le...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Chips with “axon Diodes” for Directed Axonal Outgrowth and Reconstruction of Complex Live Neural Networks
This paper reports the design of a new type of micro-fabricated device allowing the directed axon outgrowth from different neuronal subtypes and their subsequent connections to create live neural networks. Micro-fluidic cell culture systems enable the fluidic isolation of the neuronal cell bodies from their axons. Our novel chamber design enables directed axon outgrowth between different neuron...
