Spotlight on: Regenerative medicine
About regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine is a branch of science that seeks to repair or replace damaged and diseased human cells and tissues. This may involve transplanting stem cells or tissues that have been grown in the lab or stimulating the body to repair itself.
Regenerative medicine research is helping us to develop completely new types of treatments for a wide range of debilitating conditions.
