Composite bottlebrush mechanics: α-internexin fine-tunes neurofilament network properties1. Issue 29 (7th August 2015) - Kornreich, M.
Abstract We measure the mechano-elastic properties of composite bottlebrush nematic hydrogels consisting of proteins originated from the central nervous system. We show that intra-brush interactions fine-tunes the network structure which may serve as a structural-regulatory mechanism in neuronal early developmental stages.
