We claim: 1. A method for enhancing the survivability of living biological cells comprising: selecting a plurality of living biological cells, wherein the cells are brain cells; adding in-vitro, one single application of non agglomerated, ultra fine, engineered nanoparticles of cerium oxide of the size approximately 2 nm to approximately 10 nm wherein the nanoparticles contain a plurality of oxygen vacancies in a lattice structure and the oxygen vacancies support biological activity as free radical scavengers to cultures of the plurality of living brain cells; and enhancing a lifespan of the living brain cell cultures when the cerium oxide particles function as a regenerative free radical scavenger wherein after one free radical scavenging event has occurred, the cerium oxide particles remain biologically available for more than one free radical scavenging event. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the living brain cells are from wounded brain tissues in the body. 3. A method for enhancing the survivability of living biological cells, in-vivo, comprising the steps of: selecting a patient a brain injury vascular disease; and administering a medically effective amount of non agglomerated, ultra fine, engineered nanoparticles of cerium oxide of the size approximately 2 nm to approximately 10 nm, wherein the nanoparticles contain a plurality of oxygen vacancies in a lattice structure and the oxygen vacancies support biological activity as free radical scavengers to living brain cells, in-vivo, by coating and grafting at least one of a stent and other vascular replacements to decrease free radical damage associated with vascular disease and inflammatory response. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of administering the cerium oxide nanoparticles to the living brain cells, in-vivo, by at least one of oral pharmaceutical composition, intravenous injection and intrathecal delivery.
