Engineered Human Synapse Induction Beads for Neural Research, Drug Evaluation and Discovery

Jiksak Bioengineering has developed synapse induction microbeads that reliably induce synapse formation with motor or glutamatergic neuron axons in both standard 96-well plates and the proprietary Jiksak B-type microchip. This innovative system eliminates the need for co-culture with target cells, streamlining experimental design and execution.

Through in-house and collaborative efforts, Jiksak and its partners have identified and patented synaptogenic compounds using this screening platform.

The beads are ideally suited for:

• High-throughput drug screening, enabling efficient identification of neuroactive compounds.

• Mechanistic studies into the pathogenesis of synaptopathies such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myasthenia gravis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2 (CMT2)

By removing the complexity of mixed cell culture systems, Jiksak Synapse Beads provide a robust, scalable, and versatile platform for advancing both fundamental neuroscience research and therapeutic discovery.
