Cell cultures are widely used in biomedical research. Primary cultures are directly obtained from fresh tissue and reproduce
during days or weeks the major characteristics of the original tissue cells. Primary cell culture systems have shown their
usefulness for studying the specific activities and the underlying mechanisms of a variety of test compounds. Brain primary
cultures have become a powerful tool to analyze the toxic effects and mechanisms of potentially harmful agents in the different
brain cell types.
