In contrast to the present clinical approach, which mostly focuses on treating the symptoms, regenerative medicine tries to replace tissue or organs that have been damaged by disease, trauma, or congenital problems. Tissue engineering, cellular therapy, medicinal technologies, and artificial organs are the means employed to achieve these results.

Combinations of these methods can replace an organ that has been irreparably damaged or enhance our body's natural healing process where it is most required. In the relatively young subject of regenerative medicine, professionals from biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, genetics, medicine, robotics, and other disciplines collaborate to develop solutions to some of the most difficult medical issues that humanity has ever encountered.

Our bodies have a natural reaction to heal themselves when they are hurt or infected.
