Regenesis: Repair and regeneration reinvented in stem cell therapeutics
Despite rapid advancements in stem cell-based therapies, the repair-regeneration dichotomy often fails to capture most stem cell-mediated outcomes. We propose "regenesis" as an integrative framework describing hybrid tissue outcomes. This commentary highlights the conceptual gap and aims to stimulate discussion on updating terminology in stem cell therapeutics.
