Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we tried to make a neural interface which is formed from a neurons /neural stem cells and a biocompatible material for medical transplantation. We first established a stable construction method of the neural microfibers. Neural microfibers had the structure of the meters length and 100-200 μm diameter. Then, the bundles of 48 neural microfibers were made with collagen solution (collagen bundle), a combination of Na-alginate and amphiphilic chitosan solution (chitosan bundle), or fibrin sealant (fibrin bundle), cultured for 6 days after microfiber formation, and transplanted into the transected mouse spinal cord. The survival rate of the neural stem cells were monitored by in vivo bioluminescence imaging for 6 weeks after transplantation. Immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated that the transplanted neural stem cells survived and migrated into the host spinal cord. The surviving neural stem cells differentiated into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.
