The new survivors and a new era for trauma research: Karim Brohi and Martin Schreiber, Guest Editors of the Special Issue

The new survivors and a new era for trauma research: Karim Brohi and Martin Schreiber, Guest Editors of the Special Issue on Trauma, describe a new era in exploration of the biology of injury response and translation of new opportunities into clinical practice. Karim Brohi. Martin Schreiber. PLOS Medicine.

"Opportunities exist not just for avoiding death but for returning survivors to full health and function. The global demand for solutions in reconstruction, regeneration, and rehabilitation across the patient’s journey is immense. The opportunities offered by bioengineering, regenerative medicine, robotics, and digital technologies are potentially transformative. Innovators in academia and industry can now collaborate and capitalise on more defined translational pathways, clearer regulatory frameworks, and access to patients through clinical research networks. This work is also likely to benefit a broad range of nontrauma conditions with components of tissue loss, healing, and loss of function."
