Platelet-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Functionalization of Ti Implants

Here, we present a method for the isolation of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from the platelet lysates (PL) and their use for coating titanium (Ti) implant surfaces. We describe the drop casting coating method, the EVs release profile from the surfaces, and in vitro biocompatibility of EVs coated Ti...

Source: Andreatta, R. D. et. al., Subcutaneous Neurotrophin 4 Infusion Using Osmotic Pumps or Direct Muscular Injection Enhances Aging Rat Laryngeal Muscles. J. Vis. Exp. (2017)This video demonstrates neurotrophin 4 (NTF4) infusion in an aged rat model to restore laryngeal muscle function affected by aging-related denervation and reduced neuromuscular junctions. NTF4 triggers nerve regeneration and promotes neuromuscular junction formation, highlighting its therapeutic potential for laryngeal...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation via Chronically Implanted Peripheral Nerve Cuff Electrodes in Rats

Source: Sanchez, C. A., et al. Preparation of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Electrodes for Chronic Implantation in Rats. J. Vis. Exp. (2020).This video demonstrates vagus nerve stimulation in an awake rat. A rat with an implanted chronic peripheral nerve cuff electrode and trained in a lever press task is connected to a stimulus generator via an implanted head cap. The vagus nerve is stimulated immediately after each successful lever press, resulting in the expansion of the motor...

Sustained Delivery of Nerve Growth Factor Using a Porous Silicon Film in Rat Pheochromocytoma 12 Cells

Source: Rosenberg, M., et al. Designing Porous Silicon Films as Carriers of Nerve Growth Factor. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates the use of a degradable nanostructured porous silicon (PSi) film for the sustained release of nerve growth factor (NGF) to support PC12 cell differentiation. NGF is adsorbed onto the film’s pores through electrostatic interactions and is gradually released into the media by diffusion and scaffold degradation. This controlled delivery promotes PC12...

Preparation of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Electrodes for Chronic Implantation in Rats

Existing approaches for constructing chronically implantable peripheral nerve cuff electrodes for use in small rodents often require specialized equipment and/or highly trained personnel. In this protocol we demonstrate a simple, low-cost approach for fabricating chronically implantable cuff electrodes, and demonstrate their effectiveness for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in...
