Regenerative medicine aims to restore function by replacing cells. This review explores human regeneration, stem cell biology, and tissue engineering for new clinical therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative medicine and its interdisciplinary nature, encompassing developmental biology, stem cell science, genetics, materials science, bioengineering, and tissue engineering.

Background:

  • Current research focuses on understanding natural human repair mechanisms and latent regenerative capabilities.
  • Regenerative medicine seeks to replace or restore damaged or aging cells to regain bodily function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in regenerative medicine.
  • To explore key areas including limb regeneration, fetal wound healing, stem cell biology, somatic nuclear transfer, and tissue engineering.
  • To establish a foundation for developing novel clinical therapies that enhance human regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current scientific literature and research in regenerative medicine.
  • Analysis of studies on nonmammalian and human development.
