Microfluidic separation of axonal and somal compartments of neural progenitor cells differentiated in a 3D matrix

Summary: This protocol describes the differentiation of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) in a microfluidic device containing a thin 3D matrix with two separate chambers, enabling a cleaner separation between axons and soma/bulk neurons. We have used this technique to study how mitochondria-asso...
