Here we present a protocol for extraction and culture of neurons from adult rat or mouse
CNS. The method proscribes an optimized protease digestion of slices, control of osmolarity …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) from the adult central nervous system are currently being
investigated for their potential use in autologous cell replacement strategies. High …

The study of inorganic crystal assembly in organic matrices has given rise to increasing
interest in various fields of materials science to the natural process of biomineralisation. To …

Research on the cell fate determination of embryonic stem cells is of enormous interest
given the therapeutic potential in regenerative cell therapy. Human embryonic stem cells …

The neonatal mouse retina remains viable as an explant in serum-supplemented growth
media for more than 4 weeks. Interpretation of drug effects on this tissue is compromised by …

We are describing a quick method to dissociate and culture hippocampal or cortical neurons
from E15-17 rat embryos. The procedure can be applied successfully to the isolation of …

Mitochondrial alterations are detected in most neurodegenerative disorders and may
contribute to the dysfunction and demise of neuronal cells. Because glycogen synthase …

Bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental endocrine disruptor, has attracted increasing attention
to its adverse effects on brain developmental process. The previous study indicated that BPA …

This study explored different approaches to preserve engineered neural tissue (EngNT), a
stabilized, cellular collagen hydrogel containing columns of aligned Schwann cells for …

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is known to be a potent endocrine disrupter. Evidence is emerging that
estrogen exerts a rapid influence on hippocampal synaptic plasticity and the dendritic spine …
