Regenerative Medicine

Stem cell therapy offers the potential to restore tissues affected by injury, disease, or degeneration.

By guiding the differentiation of pluripotent or multipotent stem cells into specific cell types needed for tissue repair and functional restoration, regenerative medicine offers hope for patients suffering from conditions including heart disease, spinal cord injury, and degenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and osteoarthritis.

Tissue engineering is a pillar of regenerative medicine, combining cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and biochemical cues to create functional tissue constructs capable of mimicking the structure and function of native tissues. By leveraging advances in materials science, bioengineering, and cell biology, we are developing innovative solutions for tissue replacement and regeneration.

Using tiny, bioengineered hearts to test drugs and finding ways to make organs regenerate themselves, tissue engineering holds immense promise for finding ways to slow the progression of damage to an organ and reverse it.
