含羞草视频 the Cell Therapy Catapult
The Cell Therapy Catapult is a centre of translational excellence for regenerative medicine. Its vision is for the UK to be a global leader in the development, delivery and commercialisation of cell therapy, making it a location for business start-up and growth.  Based in London at Guy's Hospital, the centre plans to take products into early clinical trials, providing clinical, technical, manufacturing and regulatory expertise and access to the NHS. There will be a focus on collaboration and lowering barriers to investment and funding, and operations will grow rapidly throughout 2013. The global cell therapy industry was estimated to have a turnover of $1bn in 2011 and is estimated to grow to $5bn by 2014 (Mason Regen Med 5(3) 2010, Mason Regen Med 6(3) 2011).

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the UK’s main agency for funding research in engineering and the physical sciences. EPSRC invests around £800 million a year in research and postgraduate training, to help the nation handle the next generation of technological change. The areas covered range from information technology to structural engineering, and mathematics to materials science. This research forms the basis for future economic development in the UK and improvements for everyone’s health, lifestyle and culture. EPSRC works alongside other Research Councils with responsibility for other areas of research. The Research Councils work collectively on issues of common concern via Research Councils UK. www.epsrc.ac.uk

含羞草视频 Cell Therapies
Cell therapies are defined as any treatment for a medical condition that employs at its core one or more types of viable human cells. This encompasses both use of the patient’s own cells (autologous) and donor derived (allogeneic) cells including adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (derived by reprogramming donated adult differentiated cells). For instance, the transplant of the patient’s own or donated bone marrow/peripheral blood cells for haematopoietic reconstitution or donated human islets to treat diabetes are cell therapies, as are commercially available products such as chondrocytes for cartilage repair or fibroblasts/keratinocytes delivered in a bio-scaffold for treatment of burns or chronic wounds. The scope of the Cell Therapy Catapult is to operate within this core definition using innovative cell therapies and up to one step away in related areas. For instance, devices used to process human cells for therapy and tissue/biomedical-engineered replacement organs could be within scope.

含羞草视频 Catapults
Catapult centres are being established by the Technology Strategy Board, as a new addition to its range of programmes to stimulate innovation. They are places where the best of the UK’s innovative businesses and researchers work together to bring new products and services more quickly to commercialisation. Focusing on areas with great market potential, Catapults will open up global opportunities for the UK and generate economic growth for the future. In addition to the Cell Therapy Catapult, catapult centres for High Value Manufacturing, Offshore Renewable Energy, Satellite Applications, the Connected Digital Economy, Future Cities and Transport Systems are also being established.
