Magnetic Millirobots for Region-Specific Drug Delivery in the Rat Central Nervous System

Begin with a harvested rat brain submerged in artificial cerebrospinal fluid in a petri dish.Deposit the magnetic millirobot onto the brain cortex.The millirobot, termed MANiAC, consists of magnetically aligned nickel nanorods embedded within a microcapsule composed of the biocompatible hydrogel alginate and loaded with a dye as a model drug.Position an external magnetic field generator beneath the petri dish to generate a uniform rotating magnetic field.The nickel nanorods align and rotate...

Dissection and Isolation of Murine Glia from Multiple Central Nervous System Regions

Here we present a protocol for in vitro isolation of multiple glial cell populations from a mouse CNS. This method allows for the segregation of regional microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and astrocytes to study the phenotypes of each in a variety of culture...

Generation of a Murine Model with a Central Nervous System Infection

This video demonstrates the generation of a mouse model with a CNS infection. A suckling pup is injected with the virus both intracranially and intraperitoneally. The virus spreads, infecting the CNS causing neuronal cell death and inflammation. The pup is assessed for symptoms of infection as the disease...
