Regenerative Medicine; Regenerative Pharmacology: Drug Delivery Strategies for Stem Cells, Growth Factors and Tissue Engineering

Regenerative medicine aims to restore damaged tissues and organs through therapeutic strategies that reduce the need for transplantation. This interdisciplinary field combines engineering and life sciences and has developed several FDA- approved therapies, particularly in wound healing and orthopedics. The review covers both established and emerging approaches in regenerative medicine, focusing on tissue graft fabrication, biomimetic constructs, and technologies that integrate engineered tissues with host vasculature. It also explores methods to enhance the body's natural regenerative abilities, including cell-based therapies and immune regulation, while highlighting new cell sources and future directions for this evolving field.
