The New Survivors and a New Era for Trauma Research
Traumatic injury has long been recognized as a neglected disease of extremely high burden. With this month's Special Issue, PLOS Medicine and guest editors Professor Karim Brohi and Dr. Martin Schreiber aim to highlight crucial research in this area. Studies in the collection focus on a broad range of topics – from epidemiologic and public health research into the risk factors for and causes of traumatic events that may help prevent avoidable injury, to new genetic methods giving insight into the body's response to trauma. In this month's Editorial, Drs. Brohi and Schreiber describe a new era in exploration of the biology of injury response and translation of new opportunities into clinical practice.
