The therapeutic promise of regenerative medicine, as a way to restore aging or damaged tissues and organs, is one of the most exciting areas of medicines research. Regenerative Medicine has been identified as a UK research strength. As the proportion of older people increases, degenerative and chronic diseases are set to be a major challenge. Regenerative Medicine research offers some early indications of promise for conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, insulin-dependent diabetes, heart failure and spinal cord injury. The chemical sciences have a vital role to play in driving this sector forward by delivering a more detailed understanding of disease mechanisms and signaling of stem cells; understanding cellular differentiation and developing new methodologies for surface modification. Particular emphasis will be put on how medicinal chemistry/chemical biology research might provide a springboard to therapeutic development. |
