What is regenerative medicine?
Important definitions regarding regenerative medicine:
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is the field of medicine that deals with regrow, repair, or replacement of damaged or diseased human cells, organs, or tissues. Regenerative medicine includes the generation and use of therapeutic stem cells, tissue engineering, or the production of artificial organs.
Stem Cells
Stem cells are essential cell types, which are unspecialized and self-renewable cells. That means that stem cells are able (a) to divide and thus, renew themselves and (b) to develop into specialized cells such has nerve, muscle, skin, or pancreatic cells.
- It can replicate itself (renewal)
- It can give rise to more specialized cells (differentiation).
- Stem cells reside in organs and tissues throughout the body and help replace old, worn or damaged cells. They are the body’s biological repair kit.
- Stem cells can give rise to a wide variety of specialized cells, including heart cells, blood cells, liver cells, and neurons.
Cell therapy
Cell therapy is a therapy in which viable cells (stem cells or non–stem cells) are injected, grafted, or implanted into a patient for medical purposes and in different disease areas.
Single-procedure
In regenerative medicine single-procedure means that stem cell extraction (e.g., from bone marrow), minimal manipulation (e.g., via centrifugation), and application (e.g., via lumbar punction) is performed at the same location and time.
Autologous vs. Allogenic
Allogenic cells are derived from a healthy donor and applied to a patient, while autologous cells (‘auto’ means self) are extracted from and applied to the same patient.

Why is regenerative medicine so important?
Use of regenerative medicine has several advantages.
- First of all it is green medicine. There is no chemistry involved it uses the body’s own healing properties. This may be the patient’s own cells in autologous stem cell transplant or the cells from another healthy person as in allogenic cell transplant. We currently pollute our environment not only with pesticides, we also pollute our water by producing a huge waste of chemicals due to the incredibly massive use and/or abuse of pharmaceutical drugs. No question, drugs have helped us to fight many diseases successfully. But at the same time, extensive resource waste of pharmaceuticals can have significant adverse repercussions on mother Earth (e.g., wildlife and the ecosystem). Just think of all the estrogen in anti-baby pills that ultimately may reduce the fertility of women and men. There are roughly 1500 drugs available treating disease, however we only process some 15 metabolic pathways to get rid of the metabolites of these drugs.
- Another big advantage of regenerative medicine is that we apply not only one single substance but rather thousands of substances and enzymes with the application of stem cells and bone marrow plasma. By applying autologous stem cells, the diseased body is supplied with much needed interleukins, growth hormones, and cytokines to regenerate.
- Regenerative medicine may come at a much cheaper price when compared to long-time symptomatic pain relieve by drugs with known side effects or more invasive procedures such as open surgery. Injection of stem cells in osteoarthritis of the knee instead of prosthetic knee replacement is a good example.
