摘要:
Improved in vivo brain therapy is provided with a system having a neural implant that delivers both electrical stimulation and stem cell therapy to the brain. The return electrode for electrical stimulation is spaced apart from the implant to prevent local short-circuiting of the electrical stimulation. After forming the implant, stem cells can be seeded upon it, and subsequently, the apparatus can be implanted in vivo. A cannula system allows for continued electrical stimulation and the ability to manipulate the stem cells within the host environment.
