Spatio-temporal control of neurotrophin trafficking and signalling in primary neurons cultured inside microfluidic chambers

My PhD project was aimed at applying microfluidics technology to the study of longrange neurotrophin signalling. Neurotrophins are target-derived growth and survival factors that, among other functions, prevent innervating neurons from undergoing apoptosis. Neurotrophins and their receptors have bee...
