Regenerative Medicine Today - Podcast
Summary: Regenerative medicine is an exciting new field that seeks to understand how the body heals under normal conditions, then harness and amplify that process when and where it is needed most. The Regenerative Medicine Today podcast will explore these rapidly emerging scientific and medical discoveries which include the development of artificial organs, specially grown tissues and cells (including stem cells), laboratory-made compounds, and combinations of these approaches.
