Regulation of neuritogenesis in hippocampal neurons using stiffness of extracellular microenvironment.

The mechanosensitivity of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) is an interesting issue as regards understanding neuronal development and designing compliant materials as neural interfaces between neurons and external devices for treating CNS injuries and disorders. Although neurite initiation...
