WHAT IS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE?

"Stem cell can revolutionize medicine, more than anything since antibiotics" - Ronald Reagon

Regenerative Medicine seeks to replace tissue or organs that have been damaged by disease, trauma, or congenital issues, vs. the current clinical strategy that focuses primarily on treating the symptoms. The tools used to realize these outcomes are tissue engineering, cellular therapies, and medical devices and artificial organs. Combinations of these approaches can amplify our natural healing process in the places it is needed most, or take over the function of a permanently damaged organ.

Regenerative medicine is a relatively new field of study that treats injuries and diseases by harnessing the body’s own regenerative capabilities. When injured or invaded by disease, our bodies have the innate response to heal and defend. What if it was possible to harness the power of the body to heal and then accelerate it in a clinically relevant way? What if we could help the body heal better?

The promising field of Regenerative Medicine is working to restore the structure and function of damaged tissues and organs. It is also working to create solutions for organs that become permanently damaged. The goal of this approach is to find a way to cure previously untreatable injuries and diseases.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with robust self-renewal, regenerative, proliferative, and multi-lineage differentiation potential multipotent tissue stem cells that could potentially differentiate into various cell types including muscle cells, bone cells, and cartilage cells replacing damaged cells in our body. This helps in attenuating various conditions such as diabetic complications, kidney diseases, osteoarthritis, spinal cord injury as well as wellness. We partner with world-class hospitals, medical facilities, research institutions, and universities to advance the frontiers of knowledge for the purposes of medical innovation in the Regenerative Medicine Industry.

Exosomes are small vesicles (40 - 150 nm) released by all the cells.

They are, essentially, little messengers carrying important signaling proteins and genetic information from cell to cell, facilitating communication between cells.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes contribute to the potency of the MSCs themselves for therapies due to their ability to regulate cell-to-cell communication and deliver paracrine factors during angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, and diagnosis of disorders. Exosomes from MSCs extend the biological role of MSCs in that they help optimize tissue function by maintaining tissue homeostasis. Purified exosomes from MSC show similar effects to MSC-based treatment itself.

A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for medical purpose, either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair or replace a tissues function of the body) or a diagnostic one.

biomaterials are one of the cornerstones of tissue engineering. Approaches have shown increasing sophistication over recent years employing drug delivery functionality, micropatterning, microfluidics, and other technologies. A major recent development is the design of biomaterial for tissue engineering matrices to achieve specific biologic effect on cells, and vice versa.
