ABSTRACT

Patients suffering from diseased and injured organs may be treated with transplanted organs. However, given the aging population, there is a severe shortage of donor organs which is worsening yearly. Scientists in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering apply the principles of cell transplantation, material science, and bioengineering to construct biological substitutes that will restore and maintain normal functioning in diseased and injured tissues. Therapeutic cloning, where the nucleus from a donor cell is transferred into an enucleated oocyte in order to extract pluripotent embryonic stem cells, offers a potentially limitless source of cells for tissue engineering applications without immunological rejection. Also, the stem cell field is advancing rapidly, opening new options for therapy. This paper reviews recent advances in regenerative medicine and describes applications of these new technologies which may offer novel therapies for patients with end-stage organ failure.
