Guidance of neurons on porous patterned silicon: is pore size important?
Författare
Summary, in English
The paper studies the conditions optimum for the proliferation of neural cells at the surface of porous silicon. The results of this study show that the best results are achieved with meso-porous silicon. Geometrical properties of the wafers are also important through charge distribution at mask edges, change of hydrophobicity, degree of oxidation, the release of adhesion proteins from regenerating axons, etc
