“Body Builders”: The Emerging Science of Regenerative
Medicine
The Beginning………
Charles Vacanti & Robert Langer (1997)
Characterizing Regenerative Medicine
1. Regenerative medicine is a broad definition for innovative medical therapies that will enable the body to repair, replace, restore and regenerate damaged or diseased cells, tissues and organs. (Mayo Clinic)
2. Science Merges with Technology to Achieve Self-Healing• Regenerative medicine uses procedures to repair or replace damaged or diseased
tissues and organs—Many traditional therapies only treat symptoms.
3. Tools and Procedures (Biofabrication or Additive Manufacturing) of Regenerative Medicine
• Tissue Engineering: Tissue Repair/Replacement and Lab Grown Organs• Technologies Stem cells Natural and Synthetic Scaffolds 3-D Printing and Chip Technologies
4. Highly Interdisciplinary Field where Biology and Chemistry meet:• Engineering• Material Science
Areas of Regenerative Medicine
1. Artificial Organs: Medical Devices
(Lab Grown Bladder)
2.Tissue Engineering & Biomaterials
Scaffolds
Areas of Regenerative Medicine
3. Cellular Therapies• Use of Stem Cells (From Patient)• Development of Regenerative
Medicine Treatments.• Enhance Regeneration of Tissues
and Organs.
4. Clinical Trials• Many Currently in Progress.• NIH and Private Organizations.
