A simple active fluid model unites cytokinesis, cell crawling, and axonal outgrowth

While the structural organization and molecular biology of neurons are well characterized, the physical process of axonal elongation remains elusive. The classic view posited elongation occurs through the deposition of cytoskeletal elements in the growth cone at the tip of a stationary array of micr...
