Cellular technologies in Russia: to be or not to be?
Centers for the Development of cellular technologies will be created in the Russian Federation
"Cellular technologies, the use of stem cells is a rapidly developing direction in biomedicine, capable of solving the most complex tasks," said Ivan Dedov, President of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. – This includes the restoration of damaged organs and tissues, including the central nervous system, and the treatment of severe hereditary and acquired diseases that are currently not amenable to either medicinal or surgical treatment. The use of cellular technologies is sometimes the only alternative to organ transplantation. Finally, the appearance of three-dimensional cell cultures makes it possible to create bioimplants that are as close as possible in their characteristics to the replaced tissue and do not cause rejection."
Research in the field of cellular technologies is actively carried out in leading scientific and medical institutions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Siberia, Academician Dedov noted. "We need to open several specialized centers for the development of cellular technologies. This would simplify the conduct of clinical trials of cellular products and their introduction into practical medicine. We need to think about what sites such centers will be organized on."
