Regenerative medicine is a rapidly evolving field promising to alter the way we perceive health and the aging process. Amalgamating the fields of biology, medicine, and engineering and aiming to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs, regenerative medicine aims to harness the body’s innate capacity for self-healing.
Aging is an inevitable biological process, and despite our best efforts, nothing can turn back the hands of time: chronological aging is not reversible. That said, our understanding of the aging process has been profoundly deepened by the advancements in fields such as regenerative medicine.
As we grow older, we can demonstrate resilience and a capability for self-renewal in myriad domains, from maintaining a positive outlook despite living with chronic disease(s) to regrowing liver cells after damage.
