| Cell therapy offers the potential to revolutionise health care. Instead of taking medicines that address only the symptoms of chronic disease, cell implants and engineered tissues will be able to cure a broad range of health conditions. The potential returns, both in terms of clinical benefit and financial reward, are significant. Not only can cell therapies displace expensive medicines, they can also greatly reduce the costs of supporting patients on long-term medical regimes. This is not a theoretical proposition - cell and cell-derived therapies are already being used effectively for a variety of applications. |
