Diseases of the brain and mind are already the single largest burden of disease in the western world, being greater than cardiac or malignant disease. With Australia's ageing demographic, diseases of the brain and mind will continue to outstrip all other medical causes of loss of productive working life and quality of life. This proposal will confront this serious issue using nanostructured intelligent materials, moving towards the realization of effective stem cell therapies.

大脑和精神疾病已经是西方世界最大的疾病负担，超过了心脏病或恶性疾病。随着澳大利亚人口的老龄化，大脑和精神疾病将继续超过所有其他导致生产性工作生活和生活质量损失的医疗原因。该提案将使用纳米结构智能材料来应对这一严重问题，从而实现有效的干细胞疗法。
