Regenerative medicine is a branch of translational research in tissue engineering and molecular biology which deals with the “process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function”.
Regenerative medicine is a relatively new field of study that treats injuries and diseases by harnessing the body’s own regenerative capabilities.
Encompassing a broad range of scientific disciplines (from molecular biology and genetics to immunology and biochemistry), regenerative medicine research generally focuses on the following key principles including understanding the physiological mechanisms of stem cells, knowledge of how cells grow and die, what makes stem cells change into other cells and learning more about the supporting structure between cells.
Human adults already have some regenerative capabilities. For example, the liver is able grown back to its original size if part of it has been lost to injury or disease. Our skin is another part of our body that is able to renew and repair itself.
Some tissues and organs do not have that ability but scientists believe that they could enable them to do so.
Regenerative medicine is a rapidly advancing area of medicine providing the some of the most significant results as it delivers Cellular Tissue Products, stimulating the body’s natural healing process by activating the body’s own ability to repair and regenerate. Innovative therapies are available that aid in healing or reconstruct damaged tissue and support the regeneration of injured cells and organs.
