Effects of carbon nanotubes on primary neurons and glial cells.
Larisa L. Belyanskaya,Stefan Weigel,Stefan Weigel,Cordula Hirsch,Ursina Tobler,Harald F. Krug,Peter Wick +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that single-walled CNTs with different degrees of agglomeration reduce the amount of glial cells in both peripheral nervous system and central nervous system derived cultures, and if SWCNTs can enter the nervous system at sufficiently high concentrations, it is likely that adverse effects onglial cells and neurons might occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface microstructures on planar substrates and textile fibers guide neurite outgrowth: a scaffold solution to push limits of critical nerve defect regeneration?
Stefan Weigel,Stefan Weigel,Thomas Osterwalder,Ursina Tobler,Li Yao,Li Yao,Manuel Wiesli,Thomas Lehnert,Abhay Pandit,Arie Bruinink +9 more
TL;DR: The present study investigates how far specific surface structures support neurite outgrowth and by that may represent one possibility to push distance limits that can be bridged in the treatment of critical size peripheral nerve defects.
