Abstract
A device for cell culture, in particular of neuronal cells, including: a substrate defining a first microfluidic chamber to be seeded with a first cell culture, and at least a second microfluidic chamber, a fluidic interconnection system connecting the first and second chambers and enabling cellular extensions, in particular axons, to extend from one chamber to the other, wherein the interconnection system of the device is made so as to promote the progression of at least one first type of cellular extension, the first and second types of extension being different either due to the microfluidic chamber from which they originate, or due to the type of cell of which they constitute an extension.
