Regenerative Medicine and Cell Technologies: Looking into the Future

Regenerative Medicine: A Way to Restore Health

World Trade Center Moscow, entrance No. 4, 2nd floor, conference hall 4

Regenerative medicine is concerned with the renewal and regeneration of the musculoskeletal system and cartilage and how to reverse the effects of injury and disease. Doctors apply advanced cell technologies and tissue-engineered drugs in therapy. Bioengineers develop materials with new properties to produce implants applied in traumatology and orthopaedics. Regenerative medicine could potentially extend human life, replacing worn-out organs and tissue with biotechnical analogues created through 3D bioprinting. The technology already exists to store human cells in a functional state for many years to reactivate when needed. Doing so would change the face of medicine. In the future, it will be possible to grow tissue to replace worn-out cartilage, teeth, skin, blood, and then organs, and then even fragments of brain tissue without having to worry about the body’s rejecting them. Will we ever learn how to kickstart the process of regeneration in our bodies? What is the immediate outlook for the development of regenerative medicine and cell technologies? What is component is most important to the development of regenerative medicine? How safe are cell technologies? How effective are regenerative medicine and cell technologies and what is keeping us from introducing them into clinical practice today?
