Modeling the Interaction between the Microenvironment and Tumor Cells in Brain Tumors
2020, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Recent reports have confirmed the feasibility of using tumoroids for different cancer types, including glioblastoma, preserving transiently the stromal and immune microenvironment in vitro (Bar-Ephraim et al., 2020; Bian et al., 2018; Hubert et al., 2016; Linkous et al., 2019; Ogawa et al., 2018; Pine et al., 2020). A method that might bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo models is based on organotypic brain slice cultures, first developed in the 1960s (Crain, 1966), becoming a widely used platform to study synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis, neurodevelopment, as well as neurodegenerative diseases (Weis et al., 2001). This method provides a useful approach to evaluate the interaction between tumor and normal cells in brain malignancies.
Threshold-based segmentation of fluorescent and chromogenic images of microglia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in FIJI
2018, Journal of Neuroscience MethodsCitation Excerpt :Modern imaging and culturing techniques in neuroscience research have allowed unprecedented appreciation and access to the structure, function and importance of glial cells in the CNS. Over the last decade, organotypic brain slice culture has transitioned from a niche, cumbersome technique into a standard method employed by many neuroscientists (Crain, 1966; Gahwiler et al., 1997; Humpel, 2015). Organotypic cultures, containing the full cast of glia and neurons with their normal connectivity and morphological features, simulate the complex brain milieu without the need for an in vivo model (Cho et al., 2007; De Simoni and Yu, 2006; Jarjour et al., 2012).
Stem Cell Models of Human Brain Development
2016, Cell Stem CellCitation Excerpt :Cultures of intact CNS tissue were first performed with pieces of the embryonic chick CNS (Hoadley, 1924; Tansley, 1933; Waddington and Cohen, 1936), which displayed the remarkable ability to develop in vitro to form histologically intact early retinal tissue. Decades later, “organotypic” cultures of brain slices (Crain, 1966) became a highly valuable tool that allowed the observation of cellular behaviors within the context of a histologically intact tissue (Humpel, 2015). Such organotypic slice cultures are still heavily used today to investigate species-specific differences in brain development and neurogenesis (Lui et al., 2014).
Neuroscience forefront review organotypic brain slice cultures: A review
2015, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The term “organotypic” was first published in 1954 in a report on differentiation of the chick embryo eye (Reinbold, 1954), followed by a report on the lung and heart (Loffredo and Sampaolo, 1956) and the intestine (Monesi, 1960). The first description of CNS tissue focused on rat hypophysis (Bousquet and Meunier, 1962) and was followed by the pioneering work of Crain (1966 and 1972) on the development of “organotypic” bioelectric activities in CNS tissues during maturation. Interestingly, the first detailed description of brain tissue was published using organotypic cerebellum (Wolf, 1970; Hauw et al., 1972).
