Research underscores the urgent need for technological innovations to treat lung tissue damage from viral infections and the lasting impact of COVID-19. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of recombinant human NV1 protein in promoting a pro-healing extracellular matrix that regulates homeostasis in response to excessive tissue reactions caused by infection and injury. NV1 achieves this by calibrating multiple biological mechanisms, including reducing hyperinflammatory cytokine levels (e.

Advances in regenerative medicine manufacturing continue to be a priority for achieving the full commercial potential of important breakthrough therapies. Equally important will be the establishment of distribution chains that support the transport of live cells and engineered tissues and organs resulting from these advanced biomanufacturing processes. The importance of a well-managed distribution chain for products requiring specialized handling procedures was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic and serves as a reminder of the critical role of logistics and distribution in the success of breakthrough therapies.

The intensive care unit (ICU) is a stressful and complex environment in due to its dynamic nature and severity of admitted patients. EHR interface design can be cumbersome and lead to prolonged times to complete tasks. This paper investigated the relationship between a prominent EHR interface design and interruptions with physician's efficiency during patient chart review at ICU Pre-Rounds.

This perspective from a Regenerative Medicine Manufacturing Society working group highlights regenerative medicine therapeutic opportunities for fighting COVID-19. This article addresses why SARS-CoV-2 is so different from other viruses and how regenerative medicine is poised to deliver new therapeutic opportunities to battle COVID-19. We describe animal models that depict the mechanism of action for COVID-19 and that may help identify new treatments.

Background: Some physicians in intensive care units (ICUs) report that electronic health records (EHRs) can be cumbersome and disruptive to workflow. There are significant gaps in our understanding of the physician-EHR interaction.

Objective: To better understand how clinicians use the EHR for chart review during ICU pre-rounds through the characterisation and description of screen navigation pathways and workflow patterns.
