Neural Cells: Mobile Microplates for Morphological Control and Assembly of Individual Neural Cells (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 4/2016).

Individual neural cells on micro-sized plates are morphologically controlled, mobilized, and utilized as building blocks of a neural circuit. On p. 415, S. Takeuchi and co-workers show how the mobile microplate device enables precise positioning of individual neural cell bodies and neurites in a reproducible fashion, which potentially allows neuroengineers to design the geometry of cultured neural circuits (Cover design: Akiko Sato).
