**Pentagon invest 250 million dollars in regenerative medicine**
The Pentagon has officially announced the establishment of the Armed
Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM). The institute will
study the stem cell technology and the technology to recreate skin,
muscle and bone tissue, the official website of the US Department of
Defense says. The institute plans to reconstruct whole body parts in
the future =96 fingers, noses, ears etc.
The technology and methods of the institute will be used for US
military men injured in battles or for those who returned from the
service in Iraq and Afghanistan with amputated arms of legs. There are
about 1,000 of such officers nowadays, according to the Pentagon. Many
servicemen lost their eyesight or suffered severe burns or spinal
injuries.
The US contingent in Iraq currently counts 168,000 people, according
to US Vice President Richard Cheney.
=93Getting these people up to where they are functioning and
reintegrated, employed, (and) able to help their families and be fully
participating members of society=94 is the task at hand in which AFIRM
will play a major role,=94 Dr. S. Ward Casscells, the assistant
secretary of defense for health affairs said.
The institute has received $250 million for the research.
Specialists say that many scientific institutions all over the world
have been actively working on the subject of regenerative medicine
during the recent three years. Modern technologies already make it
possible to reconstruct both animal and human tissue. However, the
procedure can be conducted only with the use of the extracellular
matrix. The new US institute plans to grow tissues from the ground up,
with the help of genetic material, Cybersecurity.ru re****ts.
US Army Surgeon General Eric Schoomaker said that regenerative
processes never stop in human organism. Blood, liver, muscles, skin,
blood vessels and stomach get always renewed. A scientific approach to
these processes may result in the creation of man-made analogues of
natural regenerative stimulators.
Scientists have already used a similar technology before to
reconstruct the heart of a lab rat, although the heart muscle did not
last long.
US defense officials say that the major goal of the new project is to
grow donor organs for military men, although the technology may find
its use in everyday life too.
