This time of war is a cutting edge!
The U.S. Air Force is developing science-fiction-worthy skin technology that could soon heal soldiers’ wounds five times faster than the human body, officials said Thursday.
A scientist from the University of Michigan, dr. Indika Rajapakse, working with the military branch to explore ways to reprogram a person’s cells to speed up healing, which could potentially improve the long-term health of soldiers and veterans, the U.S. Air Force said in a statement. . Press release.
To bend the brain, Rajapakse uses a special live cell imaging microscope paid for by the US Air Force, along with an extensive algorithm.
“The impact of this research effort could be far-reaching,” Rajapakse said. “We have the means to do so, and it is our duty to make full use of it.”
Cellular reprogramming involves taking one type of human cell, such as a skin cell, and moving the genome of the genome so that it becomes a different type of cell, such as a muscle or blood cell.
Other information, including when the technology could be ready for use, was not immediately available.
