REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Regenerative medicine aims to heal the body by repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs, rather than just treating symptoms. It often uses stem cells, platelet rich plasma and tissue engineering to help restore normal function in problems like joint damage, heart disease, and chronic wounds. These treatments work by using the body’s natural ability to grow and repair cells, offering new options when standard treatments are not enough.
Key insight:
Research shows that regenerative medicine works best when different approaches are combined, such as cell therapy, supportive materials, and immune system guidance. This allows treatments to be tailored to each patient.
Regenerative medicine represents a major shift toward therapies that may one day reverse damage instead of only managing symptoms.
