Abstract
Various neuronal cell cultures provide feasible in vitro models of neurodifferentiation and neuroregeneration. These can be used to study new biocompatible materials to be used as neuronal scaffolds in neuroregenerative approaches, and also to study the efficacy of different potential drugs or physical approaches.
