Microfluidic Co-culture Platform for Cns Axon Myelination
A microfluidic compartmentalized co-culture platform for central nervous system (CNS) axon myelination research has been developed. The platform is composed of two compartments connected via arrays of shallow microfluidic channels that function as fluidic and physical isolation barrier between the two compartments. Neurons from E 16-18 rats and oligodendrocytes (OLs) from P1-2 rats were cocultu...
متن کاملQuantitative Cns Axon Growth Analysis for Drug Screening in a Microfluidic Neuron Culture Platform
We present a microfluidic neuron culture platform capable of isolating/guiding CNS axons from neuronal somata for localized manipulation and quantitative analysis of axonal growth. Localized treatment of five extracellular matrices to somata or axons for investigating their effects on axon growth was demonstrated. Quantitative analysis of axon growths in response to different treatment could be...
متن کاملA Microfluidic Platform for Three-Dimensional Neuron Culture
Neurodegenerative diseases typically affect a limited number of specific neuronal subtypes, and the death of these neurons causes permanent loss of a specific motor function. Efforts to restore function would require regenerating the affected cells, but progress is limited by a narrow understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the generation of these neurons from their progenitor cells. In o...
متن کاملNeuron Aggregate Culture Platform for in Vitro Cns Myelination Study
A cell culture platform for neuron aggregates has been designed and fabricated as an in vitro model for studying CNS myelination. The device is composed of nine culture chambers each of which has 55 cell trapping sites for culturing neuron aggregates in a spatially controlled environments in parallel. Neuron aggregates prepared from embryonic day 16 rat fetus were cultured with oligodendrocyte ...
متن کاملGlia maintain follower neuron survival during Drosophila CNS development.
While survival of CNS neurons appears to depend on multiple neuronal and non-neuronal factors, it remains largely unknown how neuronal survival is controlled during development. Here we show that glia regulate neuronal survival during formation of the Drosophila embryonic CNS. When glial function is impaired either by mutation of the glial cells missing gene, which transforms glia toward a neur...
