Electric fields, contact guidance and the direction of nerve growth.
نویسنده
چکیده
Nerve orientation in response to electrical guidance cues in one direction and contact guidance cues in an orthogonal direction has been studied. Where neurites had a free choice between following contact guidance cues or electrical cues, the direction of nerve growth was determined predominantly by the vector of the applied electric field.

Has electrical growth cone guidance found its potential?
Many neurobiologists spurn the existence and use of direct-current (DC) electric fields (EFs) in nervous system development and regeneration. This is despite direct measurement of EFs in embryos and adults, and evidence that EFs are required for normal development, dramatically influence the rate and direction of nerve growth in vitro, and promote nerve regeneration in vivo. The notion that gro...
متن کاملIntegrated interactions between chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans and weak dc electric fields regulate nerve growth cone guidance in vitro.
During development and regenerative growth, neuronal pathways are defined in part by several endogenous cues that collectively determine directed growth. The interactions between such cues largely are unknown. To address potential interactions, we have examined in vitro the combined effect on nerve growth of two endogenous growth cone guidance cues: chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans and weak d...
متن کاملContactless Three-dimensional Guidance of Axonal Growth
We demonstrate the use of high-frequency electric fields to guide developing axons within a 3D matrix embedded in a microfluidic device. We have used compartmentalized microfluidic chips to seed neurons and let axons grow in collagen scaffolds placed in microfluidic channels with increasing heights and with patterned electrodes on the bottom. We show that AC electric fields are capable of guidi...

In this paper the motion of electron in a miniband of a semiconductor superlattice (SSL) under the influence of external electric and magnetic fields is investigated. The electric field is applied in a direction perpendicular to the layers of the semiconductor superlattice, and the magnetic field is applied in different direction Numerical calculations show conditions led to the possibility of ...
متن کاملNon-contact method for directing electrotaxis
We present a method to induce electric fields and drive electrotaxis (galvanotaxis) without the need for electrodes to be in contact with the media containing the cell cultures. We report experimental results using a modification of the transmembrane assay, demonstrating the hindrance of migration of breast cancer cells (SCP2) when an induced a.c. electric field is present in the appropriate di...
