2023, A Landmark Year in Biomedical Research; A Turning Point in Medical History

Abstract

The rapid development of knowledge on healthy nutrition, and hygiene practices, as well as the advent of antibioticsand vaccines, has led to increased life expectancy in the recent century. The extended lifespan has brought newchallenges for healthcare professionals, including the management of chronic degenerative diseases, malignancies,and autoimmune disorders. Advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs) have emerged as a promising frontieralongside conventional therapeutic modalities, offering innovative solutions through cell-based therapies, gene therapy,and tissue engineering. Recent years have witnessed remarkable advancements in regenerative medicine and thelaunching of innovative ATMPs. Numerous ATMPs have been registered and approved by regulatory agencies for themanagement of different diseases in 2023. The approval of groundbreaking therapies around the world has made 2023an exceptional year. Novel ATMPs and the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 will pave the way for theintegration of ATMPs and advanced technologies in personalized medicine, early diagnosis, and targeted treatments.
