Multielectrode Array Recording of Mouse Retinas Transplanted with Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Sheets.

Multielectrode Array Recording of Mouse Retinas Transplanted with Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Sheets. Methods Mol Biol. 2020;2092:207-220 Authors: Tu HY, Matsuyama T Abstract Retinal multielectrode array (MEA) recording allows us to examine the action potentials of retinal ganglion cells and field potentials of photoreceptors and bipolar cells. In addition to studying the retinal circuitry, it has become one of the standard examination tools for the characterization of stem cell-derived retinal transplantation in degenerated retinas. Besides the detection of responses to simple light stimulation, it is also necessary to consider the spatial correlation of the graft and the electrodes, in order to unbiasedly reveal the locally reconstructed retinal circuitry after transplantation. Here, we introduce our newly developed protocol of MEA recording and analysis that may serve as a standard for evaluating transplanted retinas. PMID: 31786791 [PubMed - in process]
