Surface Modifications Promote Photo-stimulated C2C12 Myotube Contraction
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerToday, there is no known cure for most neurological and neuromuscular disorders, like blindness, arrhythmia, and Parkinson’s. Neuroprosthetics and pharmaceuticals are current clinical solutions; however, the next frontier for more effective treatment is through optical control of electrically responsive cells. Our previously characterized photo-excitable ITO-APTMS-NK5962 SAM is a promising approach for optically innervated devices. This project aims to optimize and adapt our technology by developing photo-stimulated contraction in myotubes using my innovatively designed SlideDish and TubeIncubator cell culture products.
