Regenerative medicine and war: a front-line focus for UK defence

Npj Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

The recent prolonged conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan saw the advancement of deployed trauma care to a point never before seen in war. The rapid translation of lessons from combat casualty care research, facilitated by an appetite for risk, contributed to year-on-year improvements in care of the injured. These paradigms, however, can only ever halt the progression of damage. Regenerative medicine approaches, in contrast, hold a truly disruptive potential to go beyond the cessation of damage from blast or ballistic trauma, to stimulate its reversal, and to do so from a very early point following injury. The internationally distributed and, in parts austere environments in which operational medical care is delivered provide an almost unique challenge to the development and translation of regenerative medicine technologies. In parallel, however, an inherent appetite for risk means that Defence will always be an early adopter. In focusing our operational priorities for regenerative medicine, the authors conducted a review of the current research landscape in the UK and abroad and sought wide clinical opinion. Our priorities are all applicable very far forward in the patient care pathway, and are focused on three broad and currentl...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
