AcREM - Stem to boost stem cell research.

Advanced research in chronic wound healing, hair regeneration and cartilage repair has got a shot in the arm with the establishment of Kerala University's Advanced Centre for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research in Cutaneous Biology (AcREM-Stem). The first such facility of its kind to be set up in state universities, the centre will also have a 3D bio-printing laboratory for organ and tissue engineering.

It is also aimed to create cellular models for therapeutic testing and develop alternative models for toxicity and drug metabolism studies.

Hair and skin regeneration is currently the prime focus of the research carried out at AcREM - Stem.

The ongoing projects of AcREM - Stem include the use of next-generation nanoparticles and herbal-based treatments for degenerative diseases. Commercialising nutraceuticals, cosmetics and stem cell therapies and also conducting early-phase clinical trials.
