They are pursuing more than ten projects at the same time on preventing scarring from severe burns. These projects include a scarless healing wound dressing, Intecytex skin equivalent, Organognesis skin equivalent, skin gun, skin printer, scarless wound healing gel, mesenchymal stem cells for healing without inflammation, adipose stem cells for healing without scarring, studying embryo skin to repeat the regenerative mechanisms of wound healing, etc.
"Rather than exploring one solution to a problem at a time, AFIRM is exploring many projects in parallel this requires ongoing evaluation, but it's faster than pursuing one idea at a time, says Atala. 'The conventional approach means you write a grant and pursue one single option,' he says, 'but then you have to wait three years to get results, and even then you may need to start over.'"
They said they were going to produce new skin within a few years.
just wondering is acell still planning to release their product in topical form and from the link isoflous posted above it appears that they may not release what they're doing to the public so the people that actually may benefit may only be wounded soldiers.
Also just a side note I read an article from mens health and it was talking about why drinking protein shakes make you gain more mass and it was saying something along the lines of that more stem cells are immobilized to the ripped muscle to help rebuild them. so i was thinking that if you were to say do fraxel co2 or whatever it might be good to be dringking a few shakes before, during and after the procedure.
Don't worry about this.
I've conversed with Dr. Robert Vandre, the director of Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM).
Here is my question:
"We are a group of scar sufferers from Acne.org who want to fund the
Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM).
Some of us are in the US, while some others are not.
Once the project is completed, will the methods of scarless healing be
available to people both inside and outside the US?
If so, how can we fund the AFIRM from both inside the US, and other parts
of the world."
Here is his answer:
"We have been thinking about seeking philanthropic funding for the AFIRM
but have not pursued it as of yet. Your inquiry will force me to get
moving in this area. As you have probably noticed, we are seeking ways
to reduce scarring in our severely wounded service members and have put
most of our efforts into reducing the scars caused by burns. I imagine
the therapies we are pursuing will be beneficial to acne scars as well
but have no data to back that up. Our goal for all therapies developed
by the AFIRM is that they be adopted by companies that will market them
to everyone in all nations."

"Vandre said the ability to produce new skin should be available in the next few years. 'We will easily be able to do things like replace ears and the tip of the nose,' he said.
Seven of the 10 top regenerative scientists in the United States are part of the institute, Vandre said, calling that a great indication of its potential for success. 'Itas really a dream team of people.'"

wow thats really good news, all i need is new skin lol.
The doctor who I am testing ACell with is also associated with AFIRM. If our trial is successful, hopefully the cure will be brought to these sufferers in the forces more speedily. I definitely feel more for our wounded troops than myself. It would be great to contribute to their recovery in some way.
that article is about a year old. May 2, 2008. I wonder why there isn't any new info on AFIRM.
This is a more recent article about AFIRM: http://www.nature.com/stemcells/2008/0811/...s.2008.148.html
We should give them time for research. AFIRM was scheduled to last for five years and it's only a year old. It's still the "army's bady".
Where's the cure?Its not here.
Wasn't there evidence of scarless healing in the PDF file provided? Those are good examples of very impressive healing. Plus I had another article claiming that scientists were already able to turn human skin into a blastema. ( which are undifferentiated cells that can can be mould into anything )

maybe lol. I have no idea.
Hey check this video out it's about stems cells and healing of the eye but at the end of the videothey say it may be applicable to skin looks quite promising.
Yea its pretty much the same procedure that the Bulgarian dermatologist is talking about in his stem cell topic, just with a different application. Nice find.

Look, wound with previous scar tissue regenerated with normal tissue with hair follicles. Evidence scarfree healing is here.

did they cut the scar out or did they just graft beard hair in the doner scar.
the article said something about beard hair cloning.
What I really want to know is why people from here don't try it. I mean I read a lot of post about how some do tca cross or tca peel and why not purchase acell and try to improve your chances of scar free healing. I'm not saying it will garantee scar free healing but from what I've read, it definately can reduce it.
I live in new zealand so theres no way i can get any time soon but for the people that can why not just buy the stuff and apply it after fraxel, cross or whatever. I mean after the procedure most docs just tell you to apply vaseline or some sort of moisturizer right why not aplly the acell powder then the vaseline, there's no harm in it.
Anybody know if acell is making a topical form of their product?

you would not get rid of a scar like that. You would have to excise it fully.
i'm not saying it would definately get rid of scars but when one goes for an invasive procedure why not try acell to minimise the complications involved such as more scarring.
i know it wouldn't hurt. Alot of people are having excisions why not put some acell in there as well. The fact is no one knows about it and they think its a joke.
