What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine is an exciting branch of biomedical study that primarily incorporates therapeutic advancement involving stem cells. Through the lens of regenerative medicine, physicians and scientists have the potential to curate revolutionary treatment plans that fundamentally alter the way in which we approach both disease and wellbeing.
This translational approach to care most directly impacts organ replacement and tissue repair. Through the use of stem cells, these complicated procedures can be streamlined to provide better outcomes for the patients whose donated organs and tissues risk rejection in a standard organ transplant.
