is the study of the mechanisms by which organisms regenerate tissues naturally.
is the application of this knowledge to regenerate tissues that do not regenerate naturally, or which are so badly damaged that natural mechanisms of regeneration fail to restore them.
The Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine conducts basic and clinical research to enable the development of therapies that reconstitute damaged tissues, organs and appendages through the use of stem cells, bioartificial tissues and the pharmaceutical induction of regeneration from the body’s own tissues.
