Generation of contractile forces by three-dimensional bundled axonal tracts in micro-tissue engineered neural networks

Axonal extension and retraction are ongoing processes that occur throughout all developmental stages of an organism. The ability of axons to produce mechanical forces internally and respond to externally generated forces is crucial for nervous system development, maintenance, and plasticity. Such ax...
