Combining Topographical and Genetic Cues to Promote Neuronal Fate Specification in Stem Cells

Abstract: There is little remedy for the devastating effects resulting from neuronal loss caused by neural injury or neurodegenerative disease. Reconstruction of damaged neural circuitry with stem cell-derived neurons is a promising approach to repair these defects, but controlling differentiation and guiding synaptic integration with existing neurons remain significant unmet challenges. Biomaterial surfaces can present nanoscale topographical cues which influence neuronal differentiation and process outgrowth. By combi… Show more

“…However, interestingly, the electrical stimulation applied by the G-NFs did not cause an inhibitory effect on the replenishment of Ca 2+ store in cell membrane of the motor neurons in a long-term electrical stimulation of 3 d, which usually happened during the electrical stimulation applied by the 2D fi lm materials because of the cell adaptability to invariant stimulation location and electron charge density. [41][42][43] For instance, in this study, the promotion of the electrical stimulation applied by the G-fi lm (G-fi lm/ES) on cell growth and development only happened at the beginning of the electrical stimulation, which was similar or even better than that of the G-NFs. But, from the day 2 to day 3, the neurites elongation, sprouting, and cell maturation of the motor neurons on the TCP, G-fi lm and G-fi lm/ES were at the same level.…”

“…In addition, the ECM was found to deposit as an extensive scaffold on the basal surface of the cells attached to NFs (Shih et al, 2006;Chua et al, 2007;Ma et al, 2008). Importantly, the sNF system has been reported to enhance not only the differentiation of murine ES cells into neural lineages (Lim et al, 2010;Purcell et al, 2012;Xie et al, 2009), but also differentiation from human MSCs into hepatoblasts (Ghaedi et al, 2012;Kazemnejad et al, 2009).…”
