Regeneration of the auditory midbrain intercommissural projection in organotypic culture.
The aim of this study was to determine whether postnatal mammalian central neurons retain the capacity for axonal regeneration across a lesion site in organotypic cultures of the auditory midbrain. Brain slices from the gerbil inferior colliculus (IC) were obtained from postnatal 6-8 d old animal and cultured for 6-15 d in vitro. IC explants containing an intact commissural projection exhibited...
متن کاملOrganotypic slice cultures of embryonic ventral midbrain: a system to study dopaminergic neuronal development in vitro.
The mouse is an excellent model organism to study mammalian brain development due to the abundance of molecular and genetic data. However, the developing mouse brain is not suitable for easy manipulation and imaging in vivo since the mouse embryo is inaccessible and opaque. Organotypic slice cultures of embryonic brains are therefore widely used to study murine brain development in vitro. ...
متن کاملAge-dependent failure of axon regeneration in organotypic culture of gerbil auditory midbrain.
Inferior colliculus (IC) slice cultures from postnatal (P) day 6-8 gerbils exhibit axonal regeneration across a lesion site, and these regrowing processes can form synapses. To determine whether regenerative capacity is lost in older tissue, as occurs in vivo, slices from P12-21-day animals were grown under similar conditions. While these cultures displayed a near complete loss of neurons over ...
متن کاملEfficient expansion and dopaminergic differentiation of human fetal ventral midbrain neural stem cells by midbrain morphogens.
Human fetal midbrain tissue grafting has provided proof-of-concept for dopamine cell replacement therapy (CRT) in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, limited tissue availability has hindered the development and widespread use of this experimental therapy. Here we present a method for generating large numbers of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons based on expanding and differentiating neural stem...
متن کاملCalbindin content and differential vulnerability of midbrain efferent dopaminergic neurons in macaques
Calbindin (CB) is a calcium binding protein reported to protect dopaminergic neurons from degeneration. Although a direct link between CB content and differential vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons has long been accepted, factors other than CB have also been suggested, particularly those related to the dopamine transporter. Indeed, several studies have reported that CB levels are not causall...
