Research reported on in 2009, promised new hope for victims of serious personal injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI).
US scientists had developed an injectable "biogel" which could be effective in the treatment of car accident victims and wounded soldiers, amongst others, as the material - a powerful mixture of synthetic and natural chemicals - was found to be capable of stimulating the growth of neural stem cells thus aiding the repair of damaged nerves.
Dr Ning Zhang, who led the biogel development team at Clemson University in South Carolina, US, said, ''We have seen an increase in brain injuries due to combat, but our strategy can also potentially be applied to head injuries caused by car accidents, falls and gunshot wounds.
''These results that we are seeing in adult lab rats are the first of their kind and show a sustained functional recovery in the animal model of TBI. It also represents one of very few in the traumatic brain injury field that attempts structural repair of the lesion cavity using a tissue-engineering approach.''
Previous treatments for serious personal injuries such as TBI included rapid cooling – or hypothermia – and protection of the surviving nerve cells via the use of chemical agents. However, the all-round effectiveness of these therapies was inadequate.
It was hoped at the time of reporting that the biogel treatment would be ready for trials on human patients as early as 2012.
