    GlossaryRegenerative Medicine (Regenerative Therapy)

    field focused on repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs

    Regenerative Medicine is a field of medical research and treatment focused on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs to restore normal function. This can involve the use of stem cells, tissue engineering, and biomaterials to stimulate the body's own repair mechanisms or to create new tissues and organs in the lab. It holds promise for treating conditions like alopecia, where hair follicles could potentially be regenerated to restore hair growth.
