The steps of regenerative medicine |
Regenerative science started of as regenerative medicine.
Regeneration is a process that takes place in a normal function of a
human tissue. Every human tissue is divided into three categories and has
different regenerative potential : 1) High cellurar turnover & High
regenerative potential ,
2) Low cellurar turnover & high
regenerative potential ,
3) Low cellurar turnover & low
regenerative potential.
In another article it will be analyzed furthemore
about each of these categories and more explanation will be given.
The regeneraton of the tissues happens throughout primate cells, which
exist in the tissue either due to regeneration or due to restoration. The
regeneration ability of these cells slows down with aging. In particular, the
primate cells are divided in many categories. However , we will focus in one of
those groups, the stem cells. Regenerative medicine focuses mainly in the use
of primate stem cells because of their ability to divide and produce two
daughter cells or two cells which one of them maintain the same quality of the
parental cell and the other one has the ability to divide and produce cells of
other different tissues. Adult stem cells are able to differentiate into
another cell , they can run into the problematic area of the body and
contribute to healing. Furthemore, they can be used to create organs for
transplanation. Regenerative medicine uses adult stem cells of the individual,
by taking advantage of their ability to evolve into many different types of
tissues so that they succeed repairing the damaged tissues and organs.
In conclusion, regenerative science takes this study into a whole new
level, by using stem cells into combination with bioengeneering in order to
cure cancer or even reconstruct a damaged human spine.
