Essays on Regeneration

The number of people affected by cardiac problems every year is rising globally and one of the many actions taken to address this broad concern is employing tissue engineering techniques for cardiac tissue repair and regeneration. Although, there are limitations in the ability of human…

The mammalian heart has been considered for long time as a terminally differentiated organ incapable of regenerating after injury. In recent years, many evidences demonstrated that cardiomyocytes, during aging and after injury, are able to reentry in the cell cycle and promote cells renewal [Ahuja,…

CNS regenerationThe ability to regenerate the tissues of the human central nervous system(CNS) is one of the greatest projects undertaken by biomedical engineerstoday. With this eventual technology, permanent paralysis and blindnessdue to CNS injury will be a thing of the past. Central nervous systeminjuries will…

Diabetes is a chronic disorder characterised by a patient’s blood glucose concentration being above normal levels. The increased concentration of blood glucose can lead to more serious secondary health conditions such as, blindness, cardiovascular disease, stroke and lower body amputations. There are 2 types of…

The current advent of regenerative medicine caused huge anticipations in many fields of science, especially in biology and medicine. Regenerative medicine essentially copes with regeneration of cells, which ultimately results in the formation of tissues and organs. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are considered as…
