Definition

Therapies regenerating tissues and treating age-related diseases

Technologies

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) create patient-specific regenerative cells. 3D bioprinting constructs tissue structures layer by layer. Decellularized scaffolds provide natural tissue architecture for recellularization. Exosome therapy delivers regenerative signals without whole-cell transplantation. Gene editing repairs genetic defects in regenerative cell populations.

Applications

Stem cell therapy regenerates damaged cartilage in joints. Skin substitutes treat severe burns and chronic wounds. Gene therapy restores vision in inherited retinal disease. Bioprinted tissue models replace animal testing in drug development.

Market and funding

The global regenerative medicine market exceeded $30 billion in 2025, spanning cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, and biomaterials.
