Innovation Showcase: How to Choose the Right Neural Cell Culture Model for Your Research Question
Erin Knock, PhD | Associate Director, Neural Biology
Examining the nervous system at a cellular and molecular level is foundational to interpreting anatomical and psychological studies from live subjects, and choosing the optimal model for your question is key to obtaining relevant results. This Innovation Showcase will review the use of in vitro model systems and offer specific examples of the types of questions that can be answered with each model. Cultured rodent primary neurons provide mature cell types for neurotoxicity studies; we will present an example using BrainPhys™ medium to support and characterize neuron activity. For human context in flexible workflows, we will provide examples using STEMCELL’s STEMdiff™ product line to generate human pluripotent stem cell-derived cell types, such as pure sensory neuron cultures for pain modeling. Applications of culture systems with increasing complexity, such as neuron-astrocyte-microglia co-cultures for injury modeling and gene-edited organoid cultures for developmental modeling, will also be discussed. Throughout this session, we will demonstrate how STEMCELL’s tools can help overcome technical barriers to human stem cell culture and differentiation and enable the culture of complex, multi-cellular constructs when they are relevant.
