Mechanical Responses of Axons - Understanding Non-linear Viscoelastic Properties and Stretch Responses

Watch a scientific lecture exploring the mechanical properties and responses of axonal structures in neuronal cells. Delve into the complex world of biopolymer filaments within membranous tubes and understand their unique mechanical characteristics, including non-linear viscoelastic responses, active contractility, and stretch-induced growth. Learn about the fundamental relationship between the biopolymer matrix and axonal stability, presented as part of the Raman Research Institute's platinum jubilee celebrations. Gain insights into cutting-edge research conducted at this prestigious institute, founded by Nobel Laureate Sir C V Raman, during their special "Showcasing RRI" conference featuring presentations from researchers across all four departments.
