This paper describes an optimized protocol for long-term maintenance of mouse spinal cord organotypic slices transplanted with human neural stem cells to test cell replacement therapies for spinal cord injury.

The paper shows that mechanical stimulation via magnetic nano-pulling accelerates neural precursor maturation into neurons and alters neuronal network organization.

This study shows that magnetic nano-pulling induces axonal cytoskeleton remodeling, enhancing outgrowth and synapse maturation through microtubule density increase and local translation promotion.
