For brain disease patients of the future, the delivery of stem cell therapy may be as simple as a quick sniff. William Frey, an adjunct professor of pharmaceutics and University of Minnesota researcher in collaboration with principal investigator Lusine Danielyan of the University Hospital of Tuebingen, Germany and his colleagues have shown that when stem are suspended in a fluid and snorted, they travel rapidly to the brain and arrive intact.
