Esto era algo que salía en Cyberpunk 2020 (el juego de rol) y que me parecía un poco lo suyo, curarte los agujeros poniéndote una plasta orgánica que se transforme en el tejido adecuado. Están trabajando en ello.
“According to Darpa’s solicitation, 85 percent of recent wartime injuries involved damage to the extremities and facial regions. That often means multiple surgeries, rehab and permanent disability for vets. They’re hoping to eliminate the injuries, and their long-term consequences, with a system that can reproduce in vitro tissues with the same structural and mechanical properties of the real stuff. And maybe make better versions: Darpa wants implanted results that will “replace, restore or improve tissue/organ function.”
Phase II of the project will see animal testing of the most promising systems. And Darpa foresees eventual use by military and civilian populations. Sounds like fodder for Hollywood, but broken bones and third-degree burns might one day be treated with an easy drop-in at the body part bank.”
El artículo de la propia DARPA, aquí. Por cierto, es muy interesante la lista de puntos que supuestamente hacen a DARPA una organización competente. Si la abstraes, vale para montar cualquier empresa.
