Abstract

Compared to lower vertebrates, the human body has a limited regenerative capacity. Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary emerging field that combines several converging technologies and requires an interdisciplinary collaboration between many scientific and medical fields. It is a novel response to the poor capacity of human organism to auto-regenerate correctly and persistently throughout its life span. Cosmetic and aesthetic regenerative medicine provide a particular response focus to the ageing problem and skin regeneration.
