Abstract

Regenerative medicine is an emergent discipline of medicine that integrates the complexities of organs with the uncertainties of cell, subcellular, and physical properties that orchestrate repair and restoration of damaged tissues from injury, obsolescence, or disease process. The rigors of the scientific process continue to assess and define factors that can be assayed as responsive under carefully controlled laboratory conditions and then test these newfound understandings as clinical therapeutics.

Concentrated autologous products, expanded autologous cells, and collected and separated allogeneic cells have all shown some promise in reducing inflammation and as such positively guiding tissue regeneration with less prejudice to scarring and a great propensity for achieving repair.

Even as details emerge, the sophistication of strategy engages ideas that are assessed on a nearly daily basis. The conundrum of clinical variation without the collective experience of a consolidated data resource for efficacy does not diminish the enthusiasm. This introduction aligns concerns and discussion and sets a base for a foundation of intention for care if not fully calibrating the successes of the various interventions.
