This is what’s happening in our lab, this week: Congratulations to Mackenna for getting her paper out: Intra-axonal Nanomagnetic Forces Differentially Impact hTau40 Transport Dynamics … | ACS Nano pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… #STEM #NIH funded #nanotechnology
Intra-axonal Nanomagnetic Forces Differentially Impact hTau40 Transport Dynamics in Primary...

Intra-axonal Nanomagnetic Forces Differentially Impact hTau40 Transport Dynamics in Primary...

Abstract. A crucial aspect of neural engineering is the ability to manipulate proteins that are substantially involved in axonal outgrowth and maintenance.
