Traumatic nerve injury will affect both motor and sensory neurons. While damage to the motor neurons will cause a loss of function, injury to the sensory fibers will generate abnormal pain responses. ​

We created a standardized method to create a  reproducible sensory nerve injury on axons only. ​

We have developed at NETRI microfluidic devices with a triangular architecture to isolate neurites and somas and to monitor neurite growth in time.  ​
