title: Control over Neurite Directionality and Neurite Elongation on Anisotropic Micropillar Arrays.
abstract: Control over neurite orientation in primary hippocampal neurons is achieved by using interrupted, anisotropic micropillar arrays as a cell culture platform. Both neurite orientation and neurite length are controlled by a function of interpillar distance.
