Stabenfeldt Lab

Regenerative Strategies for Neural Injury

Each year in the United States over 1.7 million individuals will experience a traumatic or ischemic-related brain injury, with 350,000 persons sustaining a severe to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an additional 800,000 people suffering from stroke. Our laboratory specifically focuses on (1) engineering novel targeted diagnostic and therapeutic (‘theranostic’) biomaterials for neural injury/disease and (2) identifying endogenous neural stem cell homing mechanisms after injury and incorporating such biosignals into tissue-engineered matrices.

Very important study to look at fundamentals of intrathecal nanoparticle delivery!

Where do #nanoparticles go after they're injected into cerebrospinal fluid? Everywhere, and that's a good thing. We're banking that this approach can be used to engineer better chemotherapy to treat pediatric brain cancer https://t.co/m6ABCZxENq 2
