Understanding the signals that guide neuronal development and direct formation of axons,
dendrites, and synapses during wiring of the brain is a fundamental challenge in …

Microfabrication methods have widely been used to control the local cellular environment on
a micron scale. However, accurately mimicking the complexity of the in vivo tissue …

Technological improvements in collagen gel fabrication are highly desirable as they may
enable significant advances in the formation of tissue-equivalent biomaterials for …

The emergent self-organization of a neuronal network in a developing nervous system is the
result of a remarkably orchestrated process involving a multitude of chemical, mechanical …

Cell patterning has been widely used in research on fundamental cell biology and in
applications such as tissue engineering, neuron network formation, cell based biosensor …

We develop methods for analysing the spatial pattern of events, classified into several types,
that occur on a network of lines. The motivation is the study of small protrusions called …

Recent progress in the field of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has led to the
efficient production of human neuronal cell models for in vitro study. This has the potential to …

Neural injuries disrupt the normal functions of the nervous system, whose complexities limit
current treatment options. Because of their enhanced therapeutic effects, neurospheres …

Background Dendritic spines serve as key computational structures in brain plasticity. Much
remains to be learned about their spatial and temporal distribution among neurons. Our aim …

Inkjet bioprinting, a derivative of traditional inkjet technology, is gaining recognition in the
