On August 20, the first "Tongjin Stem Cell Frontier Technology Research and Development and Industrialization Forum" was successfully held in Pudong New District, Shanghai. This forum brought together many industry experts and scholars to discuss the latest development and industrial application of stem cell technology. Among them, the speech of Academician Chen Yihan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Vice President of Tongji University, became the focus of the audience. He pointed out that stem cell technology, as one of the core technologies of the third medical revolution, is triggering unprecedented new changes in the medical field.

Stem cell technology: the core driving force of the medical revolution

The development of stem cell technology is at the forefront of medical technology advancement. Stem cells have the unique ability of self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation, making them have huge application potential in tissue repair, organ regeneration, immune regulation, etc. These technologies can not only treat diseases that cannot be solved by traditional means, such as Parkinson's, diabetes and various degenerative diseases, but also provide new treatment paths for complex diseases such as cancer and genetic diseases. Academician Chen pointed out that stem cell technology is not just a medical technology, it is also changing the basic theory and clinical practice of medicine. This technological breakthrough will likely completely change the future medical model, make personalized treatment possible, and greatly improve the effectiveness and accuracy of disease treatment.

Policy support and industrial opportunities: New driving force for Shanghai's biomedicine development

Recently, Shanghai City and Pudong New District have successively introduced a series of policies to promote the development of the biomedical industry. These policies have provided a good ecological environment for stem cell research and application. Academician Chen Yihan believes that these policies not only provide a more relaxed research environment for scientific researchers, but also attract a large number of high-quality biomedical companies to settle in Shanghai, paving the way for the industrial application of technology. Policy support from Shanghai and Pudong New District has injected strong impetus into the development of the biomedical industry. Academician Chen pointed out that Shanghai has formed a complete ecological chain of stem cell technology from basic research to clinical application to industrialization. As more policy dividends are released, the research and development and industrialization of stem cell technology will surely enter the fast lane, promoting more innovative breakthroughs in the medical field.

Future prospects of stem cell technology

As technology continues to mature and application fields continue to expand, stem cell technology will continue to lead the trend of medical development in the next few decades. Especially in the context of an aging society, stem cell technology will provide important support for improving the quality of life of the elderly. As the core technology of the third medical revolution, stem cell technology is promoting profound changes in the medical field. Academician Chen Yihan's views not only point out the direction for the development of the industry, but also show us a promising future. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, stem cell technology will surely bring greater benefits to human health in the near future.
