Main Methods:

  • Development of a microfluidic electrode array chip with two compartments and a bridge microchannel.
  • Application of electric fields to guide NSC differentiation.
  • Assessment of synergistic effects of ES and NF on axonal outgrowth.

Main Results:

  • NSCs largely differentiated into neural cells when an electric field was applied.
  • Confirmed synergistic effects of electrical stimulation and neurotrophic factor on axonal outgrowth.
  • The chip successfully isolated and guided axons.

Conclusions:

  • The developed microfluidic electrode array chip serves as a functional axonal guidance platform.
  • This platform can be utilized as a central nervous system (CNS) model for studying axonal injury and regeneration.
  • It offers a powerful tool for in vitro models of axonal regeneration.
