Our experiments show that the SiGe substrate and the tube fabrication process are biologically viable for neuron cells. We also observe that neurons are attracted by the tube topography, even in the absence of adhesion factors. They can be guided to pass through the tubes during outgrowth, leading to defined neuronal networks. Coupled with selective seeding of individual neurons close to the tube opening, growth within a tube can be limited to a single axon. Furthermore, the tube feature resembles the natural myelin, both physically and electrically, and it is possible to control the tube diameter to be close to that of an axon, providing a confined 3D contact with the axon membrane and potentially insulating it from the extracellular solution.

The key element of this is an atomic force microscope that can be used to subject individual molecules to a tensile test.

Peut être que ce genre de test corroborerait une telle théorie
