  • Carbon nanotube scaffolds tune synaptic strength in cultured neural circuits: novel frontiers in nanomaterial-tissue interactions
    Cellot, Giada; Toma, Francesca Maria; Varley, Zeynep Kasap; Laishram, Jummi; Villari, Ambra; Quintana, Mildred; Cipollone, Sara; Prato, Maurizio; Ballerini, Laura (Society for Neuroscience, 2011-09)
    A long-term goal of tissue engineering is to exploit the ability of supporting materials to govern cell-specific behaviors. Instructive scaffolds code such information by modulating (via their physical and chemical features) ...
  • Integration of confocal and atomic force microscopy images.
    Kondra, Shripad; Laishram, Jummi; Ban, Jelena; Migliorini, Elisa; Di Foggia, Valentina; Lazzarino, Marco; Torre, Vincent; Ruaro, Maria Elisabetta (Elsevier, 2009-02)
    Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides the possibility to map the 3D structure of viewed objects with a nanometric resolution, which cannot be achieved with other imaging methods such as conventional video imaging and ...
  • Mechanical computation in neurons.
    Laishram, Jummi; Avossa, Daniela; Shahapure, Rajesh; Torre, Vincent (Wiley, 2009-09)
    Growth cones are the main motile structures located at the tip of neurites and are composed of a lamellipodium from which thin filopodia emerge. In this article, we analyzed the kinetics and dynamics of growth cones with ...
  • A morphological analysis of growth cones of DRG neurons combining atomic force and confocal microscopy.
    Laishram, Jummi; Kondra, Shripad; Avossa, Daniela; Migliorini, Elisa; Lazzarino, Marco; Torre, Vincent (Elsevier, 2009-12)
    We have analyzed the morphology of growth cones of differentiating neurons from rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) with conventional Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Images of ...
  • Properties of the Force Exerted by Filopodia and Lamellipodia and the Involvement of Cytoskeletal Components
    Cojoc, Dan; Difato, Francesco; Ferrari, Enrico; Shahapure, Rajesh; Laishram, Jummi; Righi, Massimo; Di Fabrizio, Enzo M.; Torre, Vincent (PLoS ONE, 2007-10-24)
    During neuronal differentiation, lamellipodia and filopodia explore the environment in search for the correct path to the axon's final destination. Although the motion of lamellipodia and filopodia has been characterized ...
  • A study on morphological and dynamical properties of neuronal growth cones
    Laishram, Jummi (2009-04-21)
    In the developing nervous system and in the adult brain, neurons constantly need to solve mechanical problems. Neuronal growth cones are the main motile structures located at the tip of neurites and are composed of a ...
