Regenerative Medicine meets Space Medicine at the 3rd WCRM

Regenerative Medicine meets Space Medicine at the 3rd WCRM

One special highlight of the 3rd World Congress of Regenerative Medicine takes place on October, 20. The Translational Centre for Regenerative Medicine (TRM) will hold a session with the title "Space Medicine meets Regenerative Medicine". The TRM has a fundamental interest in encouraging interdisciplinary research and this session serves to bridge the two growing medical research fields of medicine and space research.

Important health professionals, biotechnologists and engineers from across Germany and Europe will discuss bioreactor technology, cell functions and tissue engineering under micro gravitation conditions, as well as explore radiobiology and life support systems. Following the lectures a panel discussion will take place in which the potential and diverse benefits of both specific fields shall be discussed, so that the discoveries in space medicine and the experiences of the clinicians who treat astronauts can someday be useful for practical health care for the patients here on earth.

Das Fraunhofer Institut für Zelltherapie und Immunologie (IZI) ist das jüngste Mitglied des Fraunhofer Verbundes Life-Science und wurde anlässlich des europaweiten Tages der Immunologie am 29. April 2005 in der BioCity Leipzig gegründet. Ziel des Instituts ist es, spezielle Problemlösungen an den Schnittstellen von Medizin, Biowissenschaften und Ingenieurswissenschaften für Partner aus der medizinorientierten Industrie und Wirtschaft zu finden. Kernkompetenzen liegen dabei in der regenerativen Medizin, d.h. bei zelltherapeutischen Ansätzen zur Wiederherstellung funktionsgestörter Gewebe und Organe bis hin zum biologischen Ersatz durch in vitro gezüchtete Gewebe (Tissue Engineering). Damit die Gewebe ohne Probleme anwachsen können, müssen zelluläre und immunologische Abwehr- und Kontrollmechanismen erfasst und in die Verfahrens- und Produktentwicklung integriert werden. Um diese Kernkompetenzen herum ergibt sich eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben für neue Produkte und Verfahren. Das Institut ist besonders kliniknah orientiert und übernimmt Qualitätsprüfungen, GMP-Herstellung von klinischen
Prüfmustern und klinische Studien im Auftrag. Darüber hinaus unterstützt es die Erlangung von Herstellungsgenehmigungen und Zulassungen. Fraunhofer Institut für Zelltherapie und Immunologie in Leipzig wird deshalb ein neuartiges zelltherapeutisches Verfahren entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe die Wiederherstellung ausgefallener Funktionen und die Rückbildung von Lähmungen beschleunigt werden können. Das Verfahren hat die ersten experimentellen Prüfungshürden mit sehr guten Ergebnissen überwunden und könnte in den kommenden zwei Jahren erstmals beim Menschen angewendet werden.
