摘要:

美国内布拉斯加大学林肯分校Jung Yul Lim博士通过化学图谱及机械因素刺激细胞生长,提出材料和机械因素诱导神经细胞再生的新概念。受损的神经系统通常不会自行愈合,因此,有必要开发出新技术刺激神经发生。关于此类研究,已有很多关于各种可溶性因子作用的试验。而另一方面,其他的细胞外因素刺激,如材料和机械因素,也存在诱导神经细胞再生的潜能。

Abstract:

Since damaged neural circuits are not generally self-recovered, developing methods to stimulate neurogenesis is critically required. Most studies have examined the effects of soluble pharmacological factors on the cellular neurogenesis. On the other hand, it is now recognized that the other extracellular factors, including material and mechanical cues, also have a strong potential to induce cellular neurogenesis. This article will review recent data on the material (chemical patterning, micro/nano-topography, carbon nanotube, graphene) and mechanical (static cue from substrate stiffness, dynamic cue from stretch and flow shear) stimulations of cellular neurogenesis. These approaches may provide new neural regenerative medicine protocols. Scaffolding material templates capable of triggering cellular neurogenesis can be explored in the presence of neurogenesis-stimulatory mechanical environments, and also with conventional soluble factors, to enhance axonal growth and neural network formation in neural tissue engineering.
