Cell transplantation is a promising approach for addressing neurodegenerative conditions. In this study, we developed a robot-assisted stereotactic microinjection system for transplanting cells. We evaluated the factors that affect cellular graft viability and other properties, including the gauge of the syringe needle and the injection rate. We systematically compared the synchronous withdrawal injection (SWI) and fixed-point injection (FPI) procedures in agarose and rat brain models. assessments revealed superior dye dispersion with SWI compared to FPI, and analyses confirmed that SWI reduced the tissue injury and improved cell distribution in the striatum. We applied this robot-assisted technique to evaluate the accuracy and safety of cell transplantation in canine models. Overall, this strategy enhances the accuracy and safety of graft delivery, potentially improving outcomes and advancing therapeutic strategies for the clinical treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
细胞移植是解决神经退行性疾病的一种有前景的方法。在本研究中,我们开发了一种用于细胞移植的机器人辅助立体定向显微注射系统。我们评估了影响细胞移植物活力和其他特性的因素,包括注射器针头的规格和注射速率。我们在琼脂糖和大鼠脑模型中系统地比较了同步回撤注射(SWI)和定点注射(FPI)程序。评估显示,与FPI相比,SWI的染料扩散效果更佳,分析证实SWI减少了组织损伤并改善了纹状体中的细胞分布。我们应用这种机器人辅助技术评估犬模型中细胞移植的准确性和安全性。总体而言,该策略提高了移植物递送的准确性和安全性,有可能改善治疗效果并推进神经退行性疾病临床治疗的治疗策略。
