Field of medicine concerned with developing and using strategies to repair or replace damaged, diseased, or metabolically deficient organs, tissues, and cells via tissue engineering, cell transplantation, artificial organs, and bioartificial organs and tissues.
A field where stem cells are induced to differentiate into a specific cell type that can be used to repair damaged tissue.
The branch of medicine that deals with the repair or replacement of tissues and organs by using advanced materials and methods such as cloning.
The use of stem cells to treat diseases caused by the loss or degeneration of cells in vital organs such as the brain, heart, or kidneys.
Emerging as a novel field of medicine, there is a branch dedicated to exploring methods of revitalizing impaired tissues or organs by substituting them with freshly cultivated counterparts derived from the patient’s own stem cells. Alternatively, this field also investigates techniques for activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms to restore damaged organs.
