Definitie & Betekenis van "regenerative medicine"

What is "regenerative medicine"?

Regenerative medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on using the body's natural ability to heal and repair tissues and organs. Regenerative medicine specialists use techniques such as stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and gene editing to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. They aim to restore function and improve quality of life for patients with various medical conditions, including injuries, diseases that worsen over time, and conditions present at birth. Regenerative medicine shows great potential for changing how diseases are treated by offering potential cures for conditions that we untreatable before and reducing the need for organ transplants.
