Understanding Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine focuses on restoring the body's functions and repairing tissues through innovative techniques such as stem cell therapy, gene therapy, and tissue engineering. The field aims to harness the body’s innate healing abilities, offering alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals which often block or inhibit body processes. A crucial aspect is the differentiation between various types of stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, which are seen more as anti-inflammatory agents rather than true stem cells capable of regenerating tissue. This distinction is important for patients who may mistakenly believe they are receiving injections that will restore or regenerate tissue when they are, in fact, receiving treatments that primarily reduce inflammation.
