Growth of Axons

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Growth of Axons

Georgia Tech Ph.D. student Nassir Mokarram (left) and Professor Ravi Bellamkonda examine microscope images showing the growth of axons (red) and Schwann cells (green) in nerve guides that released interleukin 4 (IL-4).  The Bellamkonda group is altering the activity of macrophage cells to increase the rate at which nerve processes re-grow.
