Projet Summary:

Our neurological labs will evaluate and verify the effectiveness of the MEDRAD Cell Delivery Device. The effectiveness of the MEDRAD device at cell delivery will be compared to that of a Hamilton Syrige operated by hand.

The experiments will employ two cell types:

1. bone marrow derived stromat cells (BMSC's) and
2. normal mouse neural stem cells (NSCs)
