UT Arlington professor’s work leads researchers to “turn signals” for neuron growth
A new paper scheduled for publication in the January issue of Nature Photonics describes the use of spinning microparticles to direct the growth of nerve fiber, a discovery that could allow for directed growth of neuronal networks on a chip and improve methods for treating spinal or brain injuries. Samarendra Mohanty, an assistant professor of physics at The University of Texas at Arlington, is a coauthor of the paper, which is now available online . The study is based on
