Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomaterials Science
Cell Biology

Background:

Spatially organized neuronal networks are vital for research, drug screening, and neural interfaces.
Current methods often lack pattern fidelity, long-term stability, or accessibility for neuroscientists.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare different surface chemistries for creating stable, patterned primary neuron cultures.
To identify an accessible method for high pattern compliance and long-term neuronal network stability.

Main Methods:

Evaluation of aminated (polylysine, polyornithine, aminosilanes) and cytophobic (poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), methylated) surface contrasts.
Microcontact printing of polylysine onto PLL-g-PEG coated glass substrates.

Main Results:

Polylysine on PEGylated substrates showed poor material contrast.
Polylysine on methylated substrates degraded rapidly in cell culture media.
Aminosilanes proved difficult to master due to hydrolysis.
Microcontact printing polylysine onto PLL-g-PEG yielded stable, patterned neuronal networks with high pattern compliance (>1 month).

Conclusions:

The stable coupling of polylysine and PLL-g-PEG is key for robust neuronal patterning.
Microcontact printing polylysine onto PLL-g-PEG provides a simple, effective method for long-term, stable neuronal network fabrication.
