Summary:
Scientists at National Institute of Standards and Technology have created an improved cell-culture technique that uses surface chemistry to culture difficult-to-grow neuron-like cells on a variety of surfaces, and to culture the cells in patterns to study the effects of geometry on cell development. The technique could enable new, fundamental insights into the behavior of the key cells of the central nervous system.
Commentary: Hopefully these new insights into the nervous system wil provide researchers with new strategies to treat, or cure, neurological diseases, disorders and conditions.
