Dr. Xiufung Gao and associates at the University of Central Florida (Journal Biomaterials (2012, 33 5723-5731)) have published a paper where N-1-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl] diethylenetriamine (UCT Specialties Part #: T2910) was used in a biological medium to co-culture embryonic motoneurons and proprioceptive sensory neurons from dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a defined serum-free medium on a synthetic silane substrate. Dr. Gao was researching in-vitro model systems for the study of spinal motor control and related pathologies such as spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy and spasticity. Previous to this report, the in-vitro synaptic connection between proprioceptive sensory neurons and spinal motoneurons had not been demonstrated.
