    Probing localized neural mechanotransduction through surface-modified elastomeric matrices and electrophysiology

    Mechanotransduction of sensory neurons is of great interest to the scientific community, especially in areas such as pain, neurobiology, cardiovascular homeostasis and mechanobiology. We describe a method to i...
