Rapid Diffusion of Large Polymeric Nanoparticles in the Mammalian Brain

Non-adhesive particles as large as 110 nm can diffuse rapidly in the brain ECS, if coated with hydrophilic coatings such as PEG coatings and preferably having neutral surface charge. The ability to achieve brain penetration with larger particles will significantly improve drug and gene delivery within the CNS since larger particles offer higher drug payload, improved drug loading efficiency, and significantly longer drug release durations.

Method and system for identification of source of chronic pain and treatment

A method for identifying and treating a neural pathway associated with chronic pain via nerve stimulation and brain wave monitoring of a mammalian brain includes positioning a probe to stimulate a target nerve, wherein the target nerve is suspected of being a source of chronic pain; delivering a first nerve stimulation from the probe to the target nerve, wherein the first nerve stimulation is sufficient to elicit a chronic pain response in the brain; and monitoring for evoked potential activity in the brain as a result of the first nerve stimulation. The method can also include delivering second and third nerve stimulations to confirm the correct identification of the neural pathway and to treat the chronic pain, respectively. A system and apparatus for performing a procedure to identify and treat a nerve that is the source of chronic pain are also described.

Methods for therapy of neurodegenerative disease of the brain

A specific clinical protocol for use toward therapy of defective, diseased and damaged cholinergic neurons in the mammalian brain, of particular usefulness for treatment of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. The protocol is practiced by delivering a definite concentration of recombinant neurotrophin into, or within close proximity of, identified defective, diseased or damaged brain cells. Using a viral vector, the concentration of neurotrophin delivered as part of a neurotrophic composition varies from 10<10 >to 10<15 >neurotrophin encoding viral particles / ml of composition fluid. Each delivery site receives from 2.5 mul to 25 mul of neurotrophic composition, delivered slowly, as in over a period of time ranging upwards of 10 minutes / delivery site. Each delivery site is at, or within 500 mum of, a targeted cell, and no more than about 10 mm from another delivery site. Stable in situ neurotrophin expression can be achieved for 12 months, or longer.

Isolated mammalian neural stem cells, methods of making such cells

Using a novel culture approach, previously unknown populations of neural progenitor cells have been found within an adult mammalian brain. By limiting cell-cell contact, dissociated adult brain yields at least two types of cell aggregates. These aggregates or clones of stem / precursor cells can be generated from adult brain tissue with significantly long postmortem intervals. Both neurons and glia arise from stem / precursor cells of these cultures, and the cells can survive transplantation to the adult mammalian brain.
