Abstract :Although the central nervous system has been known as immune-privileged for many decades, the psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune relationships studied in integrity, in recent years has opened a new era called neuro-immunology. Illumination of the bi-directional cross-talk between immune and central nervous systems, both of which are of cardinal importance for homeostasis, survival, progress and wellbeing, and, is highly expected to provide an integrated understanding of neuropathological and degenerative processes. Bioengineering is another novel inter-discipline, which has been developing with great momentum recently. Adaptability, ownership, and mastery of the recipient and the durability and optimal performance of the devices used, seem to be the outmost priority requirement for success. In the context of translational medicine, collaboration between medicine with bioengineering, systems engineering, and material science is definitely the first inevitable requirement for survival and progressive development in the next century.
