What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine involves the use of human stem cells
(preferably adult stem cells), growth factors and enzymes,
sometimes in combination with natural forces including heat,
electrical stimulation and magnetic attraction (by metals such as
iron) that exist naturally in the body. Therefore, aged or injured
cells are replaced by genetically similar young cells, which are
reprogrammed to function in the same manner as the specialised
cells of the defective tissue, before they can be incorporated into
the local damaged area.
The fundamental bases of this technology are to use efficient
techniques to access biological resources that can promote and
accelerate the natural ability of the body to regenerate. The most
advanced approaches using regenerative medicine have
developed methods to localise and extract stem cells (e.g. from
regions belonging to the system where the damaged tissue is
localised) as well as to promote survival, replication and
differentiation into the required specialised cells. Once stem cells
have committed themselves to differentiate into the unique cell
line of interest they can be reincorporated into the body, which
will immunologically recognise rather than reject the cells.
The goal of regenerative medicine is to restore normal shape,
structure and function to the damaged tissue, thereby emulating
naturally occurring processes of tissue development or
regeneration.
