Stem cells derived neuronal networks grown on a chip as an alternative to animal testing

Wednesday, March 1, 2017 - 10:51 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have developed an in vitro stem cell-based bioassay grown on multi-electrode arrays capable of detecting the biological activity of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins. Their assay could serve in minimizing animal experiments as well as provide a physiological relevant platform for drug-screening of neuroactive compounds.
