    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including spinal cord injury, affect many patients without effective treatments.
    • Existing models like animal studies and 2D cultures have limitations in recapitulating complex neural structures and genetic factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an advanced 3D neuron culture platform for studying CNS injury.
    • To overcome the limitations of current models by enabling precise axotomy and observing regeneration in a 3D environment.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an open-access 3D neuron culture device with a disassemblable bottom for direct axon access.
    • Recapitulated mechanical damage via precise axotomy using a pin puncture on neuron-laden Matrigel.
    • Investigated neurite regeneration by re-injecting Matrigel into the damaged area and co-cultured astrocytes.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully performed precise axotomy on three-dimensionally aligned axons within the 3D culture.
    • Demonstrated regeneration of neurites into re-injected Matrigel following axotomy.
    • Confirmed successful co-culture of astrocytes without disrupting axon alignment.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed open-access 3D neuron culture platform accurately models CNS injury environments.
    • This platform facilitates the study of axon regeneration and the development of novel therapeutic strategies for CNS injuries.
    • The system's ability to recapitulate 3D neural architecture and allow direct manipulation shows promise for future research in neurotrauma.
