Abstract
Recently, the Institute for Regenerative Engineering (IRE) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) Health announced the launch of the Hartford Engineering A Limb (HEAL) initiative, which aims to “regenerate a new human joint in 7 years and regenerate an entire limb in 15 years.” About 25 UConn researchers will be involved in this HEAL project, including Professors Cato Laurencin, Lakshmi Nair, and Yusuf Khan. Also, scientists and clinicians from around the world will participate in the HEAL project, including research teams at UC Irvine, Harvard University, Columbia University, and SASTRA University in India. The researchers will combine cutting-edge technologies across tissue engineering, bioengineering, and regenerative medicine, which will be the first international collaboration for the knee and the limb regenerative engineering.
