Regenerative medicine deals with the replacement or regeneration of human or animal cells, tissues or organs to restore the normal function of the body. It focuses on engineering damaged tissues and organs by encouraging the body's own repair mechanisms to heal tissues or organs which were previously irreparable. Regenerative medicine also deals with growing tissues and organs remotely in the laboratory. These laboratory-grown tissues or organs can then be implanted when the body is not able to heal itself. This branch of medicine seeks to solve the problem of the shortage of organs for donation. This book strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fuelled the research in the field of regenerative medicine in recent times. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
