Brain pathologies are often characterized by cell population losses. One promising therapeutic approach consists in using bioactive biomaterials, combining a cellular graft and biopolymers, acting as scaffold to build new tissues in vitro, which will then be implanted in vivo. In my work, I developed a brain bioprosthesis that combines the regenerative role of adult human neural stem cells with the control of cells behavior by microtopography and carbon nanotubes.
