What starts with poor diet, lack of exercise, or even just a genetic predisposition leads to the formation of a clot - creating a blockage of artery and cutting off blood and oxygen to the brain. This causes cells and parts the brain itself to die, which leaves behind disfigurement, loss of mobility, and loss of specific bodily movement in patients. Stroke is without a doubt a terrible affliction, and one that so many suffer from. It remains the #1 cause of long-term disability in the US; and as technology has us leading increasingly sedentary lifestyles, is only becoming more common.

Furthermore, increases in average human life expectancy means brains are living longer too - leading to more occurrences....

There’s a substantial market and medical need for therapies that do more than just treat symptoms; and at Juno Biomedical, Inc. we’re taking full advantage. Our newest innovation, CELLTech™, offers a way to repair damaged neurological tissue without the need for exogenous stem cell transplantations. It’s a wearable neuromodulation device with the ability to selectively guide stem cells to damaged tissue.
