Abstract: An insertion device for delivering media inside a patient includes an outer guide tube having a side port. An inner guide tube is nested within the outer guide tube and movable axially within the outer guide tube. The inner guide tube includes a deflector at an end within the outer guide tube. The device also includes a catheter nested within the inner guide tube and movable axially within the inner guide tube. The deflector of the inner guide tube is positionable such that it deflects the dispensing end of the catheter outward through the opening in the outer guide tube when the catheter is advanced axially within the inner guide tube. A therapeutic delivery cannula may be nested within the catheter, such that the deflected end of the catheter determines the direction of travel of the therapeutic delivery cannula into patient tissue when the cannula emerges from the catheter.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to detection of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) molecules in a sample or diagnosis of subject based upon detection of long noncoding RNAs in a sample, specifically to identify and use of molecular biomarkers or cancer including malignant glioma. Also provided are compositions and methods for treating malignant glioma in a subject, as well as human brain organoid models of malignant glioma and methods of generating and using the same.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods of producing neuronal cells from stem cells, particularly from adult brain stem cells. The use of such neuronal cells in the treatment and/or prevention of neurological diseases, conditions and/or injuries is also disclosed. In addition, the present invention provides a novel source of neuronal cells for use as a laboratory tool.
