3. ARPA-H launches FRONT program to restore brain function
The Functional Repair of Neocortical Tissue (FRONT) program aims to restore function in people with permanent neocortical brain damage.
Uses neurodevelopmental principles and stem cell tech to regenerate brain tissue and restore lost functions.
The neocortex, the largest brain part, is critical for sensory perception, motor control, and decision-making.
Stroke, traumatic injury, or neurodegeneration have long led to irreversible damage to this area.
20M U.S. adults with chronic neocortical brain damage could get curative therapy under the program.
Expected to save the U.S. economy ~$800B a year.
