Abstract
Transplantation of stem cell-derived neurons into the damaged neuronal tissue is one of the promising methods for the recovery of neuronal functions. However, little is known about the signal transmission between transplanted stem cell-derived neuronal networks and the host brain tissue during recovery. In this study, we developed microelectrode-array (MEA) substrates with multiple micro-chambers for cell cultures. Each micro-chamber consisted of 4 cell-plating spots with interconnecting conduits fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) lithography. The conduits had the tunneling structures, the height of which was approximately 6 μm, through which only neurites could grow into adjacent cell-plating spots. We cultured mouse cortical and stem cell-derived neurons in the subset of cell-plating spots. Here, we discussed this co-culture device utility for monitoring of transplantation processes in vitro.
