Abstract:
Damage of tissues and organs by wound,tumor resection,and congenital malformation is always the tough problems to clinician.At present,the damaged tissues and organs are usually replaced by tissue and organ transplantation or by bionic implantation in clinic.Although these methods have some advantages respectively,they have some serious drawbacks at the same times.Regenerative medicine,which depends on the findings of regenerative biology research,applies the cellular therapeutics based on cell transplantation and the principle of tissue engineering with biomaterial as scaffolds to the repair or replacement of the damaged tissues or organs.The goal of the regenerative medicine is to reconstruct the structure and restore the function of damaged tissues or organs by promoting the regenerative potential of adult stem ceils(ASC)in vivo.This paper focuses on the recent research progress in the field of regenerative biology and medicine.
