Neuronal Growth as Diffusion in an Effective Potential
Daniel J. Rizzo, James D. White, Elise Spedden +4
Current understanding of neuronal growth is mostly qualitative, as the staggering number of physical and chemical guidance cues involved prohibit a fully quantitative description o…
Temperature response of the neuronal cytoskeleton mapped via atomic force and fluorescence microscopy
Elise Spedden, David L. Kaplan, Cristian Staii
Neuronal cells change their growth properties in response to external physical stimuli such as variations in external temperature, stiffness of the growth substrate, or topographic…
Neuronal Alignment On Asymmetric Textured Surfaces
Ross Beighley, Elise M. Spedden, Koray Sekeroglu +3
Axonal growth and the formation of synaptic connections are key steps in the development of the nervous system. Here we present experimental and theoretical results on axonal growt…
Elasticity Maps of Living Neurons Measured by Combined Fluorescence and Atomic Force Microscopy
Elise Spedden, James D. White, Elena N. Naumova +2
Detailed knowledge of mechanical parameters such as cell elasticity, stiffness of the growth substrate, or traction stresses generated during axonal extensions is essential for und…
