Background:

Neuronal survival and network synchronization are crucial for neural tissue engineering.
Developing biocompatible platforms for noninvasive neural stimulation is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the use of nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD) for controlling neuronal survival and development.
To explore N-UNCD's potential in regulating neuronal activity through near-infrared (NIR) illumination.

Main Methods:

Utilized N-UNCD substrates for neuronal cell culture.
Applied near-infrared illumination to stimulate N-UNCD and induce photocurrents.
Performed whole transcriptome RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression changes.

Main Results:

N-UNCD substrates enhanced neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth.
NIR illumination of N-UNCD generated stable photocurrents, fostering active and synchronized neuronal networks.
RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of extracellular matrix and gap junction genes, indicating improved cellular-substrate interaction.

Conclusions:

Conductive diamond, specifically N-UNCD, serves as a robust and biocompatible platform for neural tissue engineering.
N-UNCD enables noninvasive, light-controlled regulation of neuronal activity, survival, and network function.
