Co-culturing Glutamatergic Neurons and Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Cells

This video showcases a technique for co-culturing glutamatergic neurons and pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) cells within a microfluidic device. Human induced pluripotent stem cells are introduced into the microfluidic system and incubated to promote their differentiation into mature cortical glutamatergic neurons. Following this, the pHGG cells are introduced onto the mature neurons, establishing a co-culture and enabling interactions between neurons and pHGG cells.
