Microfluidics of Small-Population Neurons Allows for a Precise Quantification of the Peripheral Axonal Growth State

Microfluidics of Small-Population Neurons Allows for a Precise Quantification of the Peripheral Axonal Growth State

Neurons are morphologically the most complex cell types and are characterized by a significant degree of axonal autonomy as well as having efficient means of communication between axons and neuronal cell bodies. For studying the response to axonal injury, compartmentalized microfluidic chambers (MFC...
