摘要: Implantation of neural progenitor cells into the central nervous system has attracted strong interest for treatment a variety pathologies. The replacement dopamine-producing in brain appears promising patients affected by Parkinson's disease. Previous studies cell strategies have shown that less than 10% implanted were viable 24–48 hours following implantation. We present design an instrumented cell-delivery catheter been developed to facilitate quantification delivered and determination viability. uses fibre optic probe perform fluorescence-based cytometric measurements on exiting port at tip. Results fluorescence testing data are presented show device can characterize quantity densities ranging from 60 000 600 ml−1 with coefficient 0.93 (p < 0.05, n = 6).
