Understanding the workings of stem cells is now seen as essential to the progress of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing awareness that the behaviors of stem cells emerge out of the highly complex interactions of dynamic (more…)

Clin Transl Sci. 2009 Jun;2(3):222-7. The pandemic of chronic degenerative diseases associated with aging demographics mandates development of effective approaches for tissue repair. As diverse stem cells directly contribute to innate healing, the capacity for de novo tissue reconstruction (more…)

Regenerative medicine, propelled by the recent progress made in transplant medicine, stem cell biology, and related biomedical fields, is primed to expand the therapeutic armamentarium available in the clinical setting, and thereby, ameliorate disease outcome while reducing the burden (more…)

Description of tissue regeneration may date back to the Greek mythology, where Prometheus is punished by Zeus for stealing from Mount Olympus the sacred fire for humankind. The myth describes a vulture that feasts from an open wound in the liver, yet the liver renews daily, demonstrating (more…)

Stem cell treatments have the potential to change the face of human disease and alleviate suffering. The ability of stem cells to self-renew and give rise to subsequent generations that can differentiate offers a large potential to culture tissues that can replace diseased and damaged (more…)

Progress in stem cell biology has been accelerated through the integration of the fundamental fields of molecular embryology and immunology with the emerging multidisciplinary fields of systems biology, bioengineering, and disease networks. The translation into the clinical applications (more…)

Regenerative Medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously (more…)

Regenerative medicine is a type of medical care to regenerate cells, tissues, or organs degeneration or loss after aging, accidents, or diseases and restore body functions. The idea of regeneration in medical care has a long history. In a broad sense, regenerative medicine includes (more…)

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction found in females, where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male. In plants, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process of apomixis. The (more…)

Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2003; 1: 102. William L Fodor The field of Regenerative Biology as it applies to Regenerative Medicine is an increasingly expanding area of research with hopes of providing therapeutic treatments for diseases and/or injuries that conventional medicines (more…)
