چکیده
A new drop-by-drop method was developed to prepare a thermosensitive, chitosan-based hydrogel system that allowed easy encapsulation of NSC-34 cells, supporting their viability and favouring differentiation.

Enterovirus 71 infection of motor neuron-like NSC-34 cells undergoes a non-lytic exit pathway
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) causing Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, is regarded as the most important neurotropic virus worldwide. EV71 is believed to replicate in muscles and infect motor neurons to reach the central nervous system (CNS). To further investigate the mechanisms involved, we have employed the motor neuron cell line NSC-34. NSC-34 cells were permissive to EV71 and virus production yields ...
متن کاملNSC-34 Motor Neuron-Like Cells Are Unsuitable as Experimental Model for Glutamate-Mediated Excitotoxicity
Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is a major contributor to motor neuron degeneration in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The spinal cord × Neuroblastoma hybrid cell line (NSC-34) is often used as a bona fide cellular model to investigate the physiopathological mechanisms of ALS. However, the physiological response of NSC-34 to glutamate remains insufficiently described. ...
متن کاملVancomycin-loaded HPMC microparticles embedded within injectable thermosensitive chitosan hydrogels
Antibiotic use is an essential method for the treatment of bacterial infections. In certain cases, antibiotics are not effective because of the distribution problems caused by physiological barriers in the body. Such problems are thought to be minimized by development of sustained release systems which involve implantation of antibiotic loaded polymeric systems directly to the site of infection...
متن کاملThermosensitive Chitosan Hydrogels Containing Polymeric Microspheres for Vaginal Drug Delivery
Thermosensitive hydrogels have increasingly received considerable attention for local drug delivery based on many advantages. However, burst release of drugs is becoming a critical challenge when the hydrogels are employed. Microspheres- (MS-) loaded thermosensitive hydrogels were thus fabricated to address this limitation. Employing an orthogonal design, the spray-dried operations of tenofovir...
متن کاملTetracycline-regulated gene expression in the NSC-34-tTA cell line for investigation of motor neuron diseases.
The motor neuron-like cell line NSC-34 has become a widely used in vitro model for motor neuron biology and pathology. We established a tetracycline-regulated gene expression system in this cell line by stably transfecting pTet-Off, which codifies for the tetracycline transactivator, the regulatory protein tTA. The monoclonal cell lines (NSC-34-tTA) were evaluated for the presence of functional...
