The present work describes the design and functionalization of a three-dimensional (3D) culture support dedicated to the study of neurite outgrowth from neural cells. It is based on a dense self-assembled collagen matrix stabilized by 100-nm-wide interconnected native fibrils without chemical crosslinking. The matrices were made suitable for cell manipulation and direct observation in confocal microscopy by anchoring them to traditional glass supports with a calibrated thickness of ∼50μm. The matrix composition can be readily adapted to specific neural cell types, notably by incorporating appropriate neurotrophic growth factors. Both PC-12 and SH-SY5Y lines respond to growth factors (nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, respectively) impregnated and slowly released from the support. Significant neurite outgrowth is reported for a large proportion of cells, up to 66% for PC12 and 49% for SH-SY5Y. It is also shown that both growth factors can be chemically conjugated (EDC/NHS) throughout the matrix and yield similar proportions of cells with longer neurites (61% and 52%, respectively). Finally, neurite outgrowth was observed over several tens of microns within the 3D matrix, with both diffusing and immobilized growth factors. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00747635/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00747635/file/Labour_et_al_Acta_Biomat_2012.pdf %L hal-00747635 %U https://hal.science/hal-00747635 %~ INSERM %~ EPHE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP1 %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ ICG %~ MMDN %~ L2C %~ INC-CNRS %~ PSL %~ MIPS %~ BS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ TEST-DEV %~ EPHE-PSL %~ UM1-UM2 %~ UM-2015-2021
