Abstract
Pitching in to help: When nanostructured anodized aluminum oxide substrates of four different types were used as nanotopographical environments for in vitro neuronal culture, the average neurite outgrowth was much faster on surfaces with a 400 nm pitch than on surfaces with a 60 nm pitch (see AFM images of two substrates and fluorescence micrographs of hippocampal neurons after culture for 2 days on these substrates).
