Undertaking Regenerative Medicine Studies with Blood Stem Cells

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Regenerative Therapy Using Blood-Derived Stem Cells

Part of the book series: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine ((STEMCELL))

Abstract

In this chapter, we provide a perspective on the advances achieved to date in regenerative medicine, identify some of the challenges confronting the field, and make specific recommendations aimed at hastening the translation of research to effective clinical practice. Regenerative medicine is well positioned to address many of the urgent unmet medical needs of the global community. The stakes are high, but success will come only from the collaboration and mindfulness of specialists from diverse fields and from the focused attention of funding agencies.
