Alterations in these processes are seen in many neurodegenerative diseases. The hippocampus, a brain area critical for learning and memory, is especially vulnerable to damage at early stages of Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD). Emerging evidence has indicated that compromised neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus represents an early critical event in the course of AD. For this purpose, QPS Austria provides a cell culture model to assess effects of your developmental compound on neurogenesis of hippocampal neurons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-8c8acb63 gb-headline-text\">Neurogenesis Solution<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Primary rat hippocampal neurons are treated with compounds on DIV1 for a total of 48 h. After 24 h, BrdU [10 \u00b5M] is added. Compounds are present throughout the assay. On DIV3, after 48h incubation cells are subjected to indirect immunofluorescence analysis. Digital images from primary rat hippocampal neurons are analyzed for the percentage of BrdU positive cells compared to the total number of neurons (NeuN positive cells) using a software-supported automatic quantification method. Analysis is performed using Image Pro Plus software. Approximately 10000 to 15000 cells per group are screened for BrdU positive nuclei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-0c6136b3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"405\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-0c6136b3\" src=\"http:\/\/scantoxneuro.vm0857.enterprisecloud.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Neurogenesis_Figure-11-1010x1024-1-e1581041791836.png\" alt=\"Neurogenesis\" title=\"Neurogenesis_Figure-11-1010x1024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) on neurogenesis of primary rat hippocampal neurons.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f5d6733 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-8aed6ad2 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">\uc2dc\ub0c5\uc2a4 \uc0dd\uc131<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a6c0c293\">\n\n<p>Synapse formation but especially the synaptic maintenance (synaptogenesis) is critical for neuronal health and disease.

Strikingly, neurons retain their capacity for growth and synapse formation in the adult brain. Only those neurons that manage to establish adequate contacts with neighbor cells escape cell death. To stimulate and accelerate neurite outgrowth is thus important for restoring neuronal function after injury or from neurodegenerative diseases. A promising strategy for drugs targeted against neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s disease is promoting the regeneration of neurons. Thus, new therapies are focusing on identifying new molecules that affect neurite outgrowth.
