Regenerative medicine is one of the primary focuses of a wellness center. It is a branch of medicine that deals with the use and optimization of the body’s natural self-healing abilities to improve wellbeing. It extends to areas like organ transplant (real or artificial), cellular therapies and tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering is another branch of regenerative medicine that involves the use of scaffolds – devices created from natural and artificial materials – to aid cells as they repair and maintain tissues and organs. With biologically active molecules, cells develop on the scaffolds to create healthy, functional tissue. Tissue engineering consists of materials like artificial skin, cartilage and lab-grown bone.
The potential use of regenerative medicine is truly remarkable. A wellness center applies regenerative medicine to help patients achieve real and lasting health.
