Classification: CPC C  A | IPC A  C

Claim 1:
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said differentiation is a cellular response to the gradient, wherein said cellular response comprises:
a) growth of cytoskeletal structural components in a defined direction relative to the direction of the gradient, and/or
b) proliferation of cells up to 300 microns from the PODS, and/or
c) different responses in different parts of the cell in response to different concentrations of neurotrophic growth factor caused by the gradient, due to one part of the cell being in contact with the neurotrophic growth factor at a different concentration from another part of the cell, and/or
d) a different branching pattern caused by the presence of the gradient.
