Funded Activity Summary

Growing neural tissue from stem cells on an electrically conductive surface can improve cell growth over the short term, yet the functionality of the cells has never been fully established. We will investigate the use of polymers for facilitation of neural tissue growth from stem cells, test the functionality of the tissue produced, and investigate the effectiveness of implantation of the developed tissue into primates to supplement or replace damaged tissue.
