Regenerative medicine

DERegenerative Medizin

Regenerative medicine is the field developing therapies to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged cells, tissues, and organs. Approaches include stem cell transplantation, tissue engineering, gene therapy, organoids, biomaterial scaffolds, and cellular reprogramming. By restoring lost function rather than only managing symptoms, it aims to address age-related degeneration, organ failure, and chronic disease. It is closely intertwined with longevity science, where reversing cellular and tissue aging is a central therapeutic objective.
