Traction Force and Tension Fluctuations During Axon Growth

Traction Force and Tension Fluctuations During Axon Growth

Actively generated mechanical forces play a central role in axon growthand guidance, but the mechanisms that underly force generation andregulation in growing axons remain poorly understood. We reportmeasurements of the dynamics of traction stresses from growth cones ofactively advancing axons from...
