The growing field of regenerative medicine seeks to counteract injuries in which the body’s healing responses fail to respond with new functional tissue. To date, growth factors and cytokines have shown some clinical impact, by stimulating the production of new cells by the body or enhancing function of the existing cells in the body. Newer modalities, however, focus on the formation of new functional tissue substitutes for those lost. Regenerative technology, thus, has wide applications across multiple-organ systems and indeed the entire spectrum of disease processes. The restoration of functional tissue to heart and bone can theoretically provide treatment of congestive heart failure and osteoporosis. The formation of functional skin lessens the reliance on local and free plastic surgical flaps used in reconstruction and skin grafting. Generating neural tissue can treat disease states such as spina bifida. The regeneration of pancreatic tissue can be used to treat diabetes.
