A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study
