An Overview on Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine is the next evolution of medical treatments. It is the process of creating living functional tissues to repair or restore or regenerate the tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage or congenital defects by variety of approaches like, from cell based therapies through tissue engineering to developing new medical devices. It regenerates the tissues by stimulating irreparable organs to heal themselves. Regenerative medicine has the potential to solve the problem of shortage of organs by enabling the scientists to grow tissues and organs in laboratory.
