Regenerative Research

The human body is resilient to numerous environmental factors and diseases, but the body is inevitably going to receive impairments. Progressions in biotechnology and genetic techniques have permitted scientists to discover treatments and information on genes. Regenerative medicine uses biotechnology to produce treatments in vivo and in vitro procedures. Using a gene from a dissimilar organism, the green fluorescent protein method is now a significant tool used in neuroscience. In the field of tissue engineering and molecular biology, regenerative medicine is the future of medicine and organ repair.
Although it took many scientists to lead us with current technology, it wasn’t until the early 1800s that reformative aspects of biology
Scientists are currently studying how they can use stem cells to generate new tissues and from there, safely transplant them into the human body. The main difference between traditional therapies and regenerative medicine is that regeneration works to find a cure instead of a way to treat symptoms. An example of regenerative medicine being used is through Regenerative Facial Reconstruction. Trauma, disease, or congenital malformations of the face or skull can all cause your complications in communication and quality of life. Researchers have found a technique that is still being worked on but its idea is to rely on the patient’s own cells and then train new tissues skills of expressiveness. To do this, robotic devices that replicate facial movements help muscles regrow properly. Another example of regenerative medicine being used is in Arthritis treatment. Osteoarthritis is where you are aching dilapidation of the cartilage in the linings of the joints. A new treatment uses the patient’s individual cells from a muscle biopsy and a growth factor is used to influence the growth of cartilage. To renew the cartilage, the cells are injected into arthritic joints. Although procedures such as these may be successful, others dealing with more complex systems are debated on
Technology now is letting scientists see possibilities but the sources for these experiments are thought to be incorrect. Embryonic stem cells, which are the base of most of the research in regenerative medicine as they can form into almost 200 different cell types, are given the most attention as they involve destruction of the cell to obtain them. Past the embryonic stem cell controversy, as in any experiment there are human subjects. These treatments would be tested on “…subjects of patients with new, severe injuries – presumably chosen in order to provide the best data on the intervention’s potential for efficacy”, this leaves a patient with minimal time to respond to a situation and make a
