We, accordingly, aimed to characterize the effects of elastic substrates on critical NSC functions. Primary rat NSC were grown as monolayers on polydimethylsiloxane‐ (PDMS‐) based gels. PDMS‐coated cell culture plates, simulating the physiological microenvironment of the living brain, were generated in various degrees of elasticity, ranging from 1 to 50 kPa; additionally, results were compared with regular glass plates as usually used in cell culture work. Survival of NSC on the PDMS‐based substrates was unimpaired. The proliferation rate on 1 kPa PDMS decreased by 45% compared with stiffer PMDS substrates of 50 kPa (p < 0.05) whereas expression of cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor 1B/p27Kip1 increased more than two fold (p < 0.01), suggesting NSC quiescence. NSC differentiation was accelerated on softer substrates and favored the generation of neurons (42% neurons on 1 kPa PDMS vs. 25% on 50 kPa PDMS; p < 0.05). Neurons generated on 1 kPa PDMS showed 29% longer neurites compared with those on stiffer PDMS substrates (p < 0.05), suggesting optimized neuronal maturation and an accelerated generation of neuronal networks. Data show that primary NSC are significantly affected by the mechanical properties of their microenvironment. Culturing NSC on a substrate of brain‐like elasticity keeps them in their physiological, quiescent state and increases their neurogenic potential. 000861214 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572$$a572 - (Dys-)function and Plasticity (POF3-572)$$cPOF3-572$$fPOF III$$x0 000861214 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aVay, Sabine Ulrike$$b1 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPallast, Niklas$$b2 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRabenstein, Monika$$b3 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)169770$$aAbraham, Jella-Andrea$$b4$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)145159$$aLinnartz, Christina$$b5$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)164475$$aHoffmann, Marco$$b6$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128815$$aHersch, Nils$$b7$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128833$$aMerkel, Rudolf$$b8$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128817$$aHoffmann, Bernd$$b9$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131720$$aFink, Gereon Rudolf$$b10$$ufzj 000861214 7001_ $$00000-0001-8036-395X$$aRueger, Maria Adele$$b11$$eCorresponding author 000861214 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2316155-3$$a10.1002/term.2838$$n6$$p960-972$$tJournal of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine$$v13$$x1932-6254$$y2019 000861214 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/861214/files/Blaschke_et_al-2019-Journal_of_Tissue_Engineering_and_Regenerative_Medicine.pdf$$yRestricted 000861214 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/861214/files/Blaschke_et_al-2019-Journal_of_Tissue_Engineering_and_Regenerative_Medicine.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000861214 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/861214/files/revised-figures_Blaschke-et-al_TERM.pdf$$yPublished on 2019-02-27.
