Regenerative Medicine (RM) is an exciting new field that holds much promise for generating innovative therapies for a wide variety of diseases and disorders. RM focuses on harnessing the body's own repair mechanisms to replace or heal damaged tissues and organs. In this way, it is hoped that the shortage and rejection of transplanted donor organs may be solved in the future.
