Immortalized Neuron Modeling Service
Neurons are the fundamental units of the nervous system (NS), responsible for transmitting information throughout the body. Unlike most cell types, neurons typically permanently lose their proliferative ability after differentiation, and neurons in the adult NS generally remain in a quiescent state. The capability to proliferate indefinitely makes immortalized neurons a valuable tool for studying neurotoxicity and modeling neurological diseases.
Creative Biolabs has extensive experience in neurotoxicity studies and modeling Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) using immortalized neurons. Please contact us to discuss details about your project.

Case Study
The SH-SY5Y cell line is an essential cellular model in neuroscience research, widely used for the study of AD and PD. The cell line can be differentiated through various induction protocols to simulate neuronal characteristics, thereby providing an effective experimental platform for disease modeling and drug screening.
1. Disease modeling
Modeling AD: Researchers can add exogenous amyloid-beta (Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40), or oxidative stress inducers such as H2O2 to the WT cells to induce disease phenotypes.
Mimicking PD: In the study of PD, pathological changes in SH-SY5Y cells can be induced using MPP+, 6-OHDA, or rotenone. These factors are closely associated with the death of dopaminergic neurons and the aggregation of alpha-synuclein.

2. Drug Screening
Drug screening experiments often use the SH-SY5Y cell line to evaluate the potential effects of a drug candidate on neuronal function. Researchers can perform cell viability assay, apoptosis assay, neurite outgrowth assay, mitochondrial function assay, oxidative stress assay, and neuroinflammatory assay to screen for potential neuroprotective or neurotoxic compounds.
