Disciplines contributing to this field include genetics and molecular biology, materials science, stem cell biology, transplantation, developmental biology, and tissue engineering) MESH online, March 5, 2008: (regenerative medicine: field of medicine concerned with developing and using strategies aimed at repair or replacement of damaged, diseased, or deficient organs, tissues, and cells via tissue engineering, cell transplantation, and artificial organs and bioartificial organs and tissues) Principles of regenerative medicine, 2007: p. 2 (regenerative medicine seeks new therapies for patients with injuries or diseases in which body's own responses cannot restore functional tissue; therapeutic use of growth factors and cytokines to stimulate production/function of endogenous cells has shown greatest clinical impact to date) |
