Fluorescent images of human neurons (stained with red, green and blue) growing on coatings with fast-moving molecules (left) or conventional laminin (right) for 60 days. Neurons spread homogenously and showed more complex branching on the highly mobile coating developed at Northwestern.

Lab-grown neurons hold promise for neurodegenerative disease
