Figure 6

Three examples demonstrating the formation of tension along neurites after attachment to a CNT island (time-lapse images). The generation of tension is accompanied by the retraction and absorption of unconnected neurite branches. Solid arrowheads show newly formed branches. Open arrowheads mark the respective spots of retracted branches as tension is generated (double-headed arrows).
