| PROJECT: | NEURON-Electrically conductive platforms for neural stem cell culture and differentiation | |||||
| ACRONYM: | NEURON | |||||
| MAIN OBJECTIVE: | NEURON aims to develop novel polymer-based platforms for electro-stimulation of neural stem cells directing
their organization, morphology and differentiation into committed functional tissue. The project innovation action encompasses three vectors: 1. Novel electrically conductive polymeric/composite materials with enhanced biocompatibility, adhesion motives and with tailored stiffness, biodegradability and transparency. 2. Novel 3D electrically conductive scaffolds with tailored topologies, using 3D extrusion, direct printing and electrospinning. 3. Novel stimuli-controlled growth factors and small molecules delivery systems to be integrated in such platforms. |
