Frost & Sullivan: Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field based upon the principles of engineering and life science to promote regeneration. It holds the potential to heal or replace tissues and organs damaged by certain factors (age, disease, or trauma, etc.). It can also produce artificial organs via regenerative therapy (therapeutic stem cells, tissue engineering, etc.). Regenerative health encompasses many disciplines of science and clinical practice. It involves growing tissues and organs artificially in the laboratory and implanting them into the body when it fails to heal itself.
