Nerve Regeneration on a Chip
Our new study on nanoaxotomy on-a-chip is published in Nature Methods. The two-layer miocrofluidic trap now allows to immobilize C. elegans and perform nanosurgery to severe axons and study their nerve regeneration. Using the ‘nanoaxotomy’ chip, we discovered that axonal regeneration occurs much faster than previously described and surprisingly the distal fragment of the severed axon regrows in the absence of anesthetics.
