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…
