In preclinical studies, cell transplantation into the brain has shown great promise for the treatment of a wide range of neurological diseases. However, the use of a straight cannula and syringe for cell delivery to the human brain does not approximate cell distribution achieved in animal studies. This technical deficiency may limit the successful clinical translation of cell transplantation.
