Investigation of cryopreservation methods for adherent nerve cell networks in vitro.
Description:
Cryopreservation in suspension is commonplace for a variety of cell types.
However, cryopreservation of adherent cells has achieved limited success. This research aimed to cryopreserve adherent nerve cell networks in vitro in a manner that preserved network morphology and physiology. Successful implementation would enable long term storage of adherent neuronal networks on microelectrode arrays and on-demand access for use in pharmacological and toxicological testing. Based upon morphological as…
