Tissue Regeneration

Among the organs in the body, the mammalian skin has remarkable regenerative abilities and is thus a prime model for elucidating the fundamental mechanisms regulating stem cell fate, tissue regeneration and repair. Researchers are focusing on enormous effort to develop novel therapeutic approaches for wound treatment. Stem-cell-based therapeutic strategies have been proposed to treat wounds. There are considerable potential for improving the rate and quality of wound healing and regenerating the skin. However, there are many challenges for using stem cells in skin regeneration.
