We have met all of the milestones outlined in this grant, except demonstration that the electrospun conduit supports cell growth. Composite gels are a more promising method for the brain patch therapy due to greater degree of control over shape of the three-dimensional structure, therefore the majority of our efforts have been focused on gel development. In addition to the work outlined in the original proposal, we have also determined a method for assessing diffusion of growth factors out of our gel matrices. Characterization of the release kinetics of neural-specific growth factors from gel matrices will help to inform the design of an appropriate growth-factor laden matrix for the cell delivery system. We have demonstrated expression of
