Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses significant challenges due to complex biomechanics and diverse cellular responses.
  • Existing in vitro models (2D cultures, slices) lack human-specific architecture, vascularization, and neurovascular interactions crucial for TBI research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review advancements in in vitro traumatic brain injury (TBI) modeling.
  • To focus on models utilizing human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and neurovascular unit (NVU) components.

Main Methods:

  • Review of studies employing iPSC-derived neural and vascular tissues.
  • Examination of organoids, hydrogel scaffolds, and microfluidic platforms for TBI simulation.
  • Analysis of models incorporating mechanical injury and NVU integration.

Main Results:

  • Integration of NVU components significantly enhances the physiological and functional relevance of in vitro TBI models.
  • Human iPSC-based models offer improved recapitulation of TBI pathophysiology compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging in vitro TBI models, particularly those using iPSC and NVU components, hold potential for advancing neurotrauma research.
  • Key limitations include organoid maturation variability, incomplete vascularization, and lack of standardization, requiring future research focus for improved translational fidelity.
