Excerpt from "Stem Cells Applications in Regenerative Medicine and Disease Therapeutics" by Ranjeet Mahla (2016)
Regenerative medicine... deals with functional restoration of specific tissue and/or organ of the patients suffering with severe injuries or chronic disease conditions, in the state where bodies own regenerative responses do not suffice. Donated tissues and organs cannot meet the transplantation demands of aged and diseased populations that have driven the thrust for search for the alternatives. Stem cells are endorsed with indefinite cell division potential, and can [differentiate] into other types of cells. Stem cells pave foundation for all tissue and organ system of the body and mediates diverse role in disease progression, development, and tissue repair processes in host.
