Most of our readers will know that how long it takes for an injured service member to receive medical care is often the single most important factor in whether they live or die.
Even as our casualty evacuation systems and forward medical treatment stations constantly train to reduce response time, DARPA is looking at a solution from the other side — how to slow down time itself for the injured.
Taking their cue from organisms that can slow their own metabolic processes under stress, DARPA scientists are working on a Biostasis program looking to develop ways to slow down the biochemical processes in cells and tissues to buy more time for medical intervention to our wounded.
This is just beginning, but we will watch for investable opportunities. Click here for more.
