Neural tissue engineering and biohybridized microsystems for neurobiological investigation in vitro (Part 1).
TLDR
The efforts to engineer a range of 3-D neural cellular constructs by systematically varying parameters such as cell composition, cell density, matrix constituents, and mass transport are detailed, with ramifications on neural cell survival, function, and network formation based on these parameters are specifically addressed.
In Vitro Models for Biomechanical Studies of Neural Tissues
TLDR
Design criteria for ideal cultures, the current state of the art in neural cell and tissue culturing methods, and the advantages and limitations to using culture mimics are presented.
Anatomically Inspired Three-dimensional Micro-tissue Engineered Neural Networks for Nervous System Reconstruction, Modulation, and Modeling.
TLDR
This manuscript presents the fabrication protocol for micro-tissue engineered neural networks (micro-TENNs), implantable constructs consisting of neurons and aligned axonal tracts spanning the extracellular matrix (ECM) lumen of a preformed hydrogel cylinder hundreds of microns in diameter that may extend centimeters in length.
Neural cell injury pathology due to high-rate mechanical loading
3D in vitro platform produced by two-photon polymerization for the analysis of neural network formation and function
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that two-photon-induced polymerization of organic–inorganic hybrid biomaterials provides a robust model for 3D neuronal tissue engineering studies.
Neural cell injury pathology due to high-rate mechanical loading
TLDR
This work quantifies and resolves the structural pathology and critical injury strain thresholds of neural cells occurring at high loading rates such as encountered in blast exposures or cavitation-based medical procedures, and finds that neuronal dendritic spines characterized by MAP2 displayed the lowest physical failure strain.
