Our work demonstrating “how a tissue-like soft environment transforms the structural mechanics of axonal growth cone to be a battering ram” has been published in Cell Reports~

Award-winner Zhu, first author Chen Chen, and we celebrate the good time in a steak house. Kai, Li-yuan, and Chih-Yu are our 2022 Summer Interns~~

We found that growth cones of 0.1 kPa neurons exhibit a highly coordinated T-zone activity, a mechanism distinct from the one observed on conventional glass coverslips.

我們利用水膠平台系統，解開當神經軸突的生長錐生長在軟組織環境中時，如何變身成為Cajal眼中有助於長軸突前進/施力的攻城錘（battering ram) 型態。
