Cellular modulation of polymeric device surfaces: promise of adult stem cells for neuroprosthetics

Minimizing the foreign body response is seen as one critical research strategy for implants especially when designed for immune-privileged organs like the brain. The context of this work is to improve deep brain stimulating devices used in a consistently growing spectrum of psychomotoric and psychia...
