3D axon assemblies pave the way for drug discovery
3D axon assemblies pave the way for drug discovery

Japanese and American scientists have together designed a microdevice that efficiently promotes the formation of axon fascicles from stem cell-derived neurons. The 3D structures are common in the body, but have proven difficult to prepare in the lab. The microdevice is expected to be a resourceful tool for drug discovery against neurodegeneration.
