Période

Unknown: containers of this type probably used for this specific purpose c. 2009-2010.

Canada

An August 2010 report in Science Translational Medicine, about the preliminary success of clinical implantations of biosynthetic corneas made in Canada, was picked up by main-stream news organizations around the world in late August 2010 making it one of the most covered Canadian medical stories of the year. Synthetic and natural corneas have been implanted into humans for years. It is now a routine surgery with a variety of techniques and materials. The corneas in this acquisition represent a new development in this history, the use of bio-engineered materials for making the corneas. This material derives from recombinant human collagen, which is shaped and "forged" into biosynthetic corneas for implantation into humans. The implants are more accurately called "biomimetic" because the resulting implants mimic cell growth and restoration of natural cornea without the risk of rejection. The initial human trials were successful (reported in 2010, see references below), but this technique is still in the prototype phase with more engineering being developed. This development also represents new trends in laboratory medicine - close partnerships between genome-based biotechnology industries, hospital research institutes and laboratories.
