Systematic Evaluation of Extracellular Coating Matrix on the Differentiation of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cortical Neurons.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons (iNs) have been widely used as models of neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative diseases. Coating cell culture vessels with extracellular matrixes (ECMs) gives structural support and facilitates cell communication and differentiation, ultimately enhances neuronal functions. However, the relevance of different ECMs to the natural environment and their impact on neuronal differentiation have not been fully characterized. In this study, we report the use of four commonly used extracellular matrixes, poly-D-lysine (PDL), poly-L-ornithine (PLO), Laminin and Matrigel, which we applied to compare the single-coating and double-coating conditions on iNs differentiation and maturation. Using the IncuCyte live-cell imaging system, we found that iNs cultured on single Matrigel- and Laminin-coated vessels have significantly higher density of neurite outgrowth and branch points than PLO or PDL but produce abnormal highly straight neurite outgrowth and larger cell body clumps. All the four double-coating conditions significantly reduced the clumping of neurons, in which the combination of PDL+Matrigel also enhanced neuronal purity. Double coating with PDL+Matrigel also tended to improve dendritic and axonal development and the distribution of pre and postsynaptic markers. These results demonstrate that the extracellular matrix contributes to the differentiation of cultured neurons and that double coating with PDL+Matrigel gives the best outcomes. Our study indicates that neuronal differentiation and maturation can be manipulated, to a certain extent, by adjusting the ECM recipe, and provides important technical guidance for the use of the ECM in neurological studies.
