Abstract

Regenerative medicine deals with the restoration of damaged or injured tissues in patients suffering from catastrophic injuries or chronic diseases in which their own body’s regenerative capacities are not functioning properly. This field typically involves the study of stem cells and the engineering of biological tissues or organs. Stem cells have the unique ability to replicate indefinitely and to differentiate into multiple cells in the body, thereby making them ideal substrates for tissue repair. In this chapter we will examine several facets of regenerative medicine including (1) the types of stem cells available for use, (2) the mechanism of action that these cells use during therapy, and (3) principles of tissue engineering such as scaffolds, bioreactors, and 3D printing.
