Regenerative medicine is a new concept of developing medicine. This field
of science concerns reconstruction and repair of damaged tissues and organs. In
physiological conditions, their integrity and functionality are ensured by the presence
of adult stem cells that maintain and renew effectively all cell types. When there are
injuries resulting from different causes, its essential to reconstitute the original structure
and this represents the goal of regenerative medicine. The aim is to employ stem cells
in clinic as cell therapy. For obtaining this result, its necessary to know the biology of
stem cells and then its essential to have technologies useful to regenerate them in
culture and allow their vitality. Today stem cells are a therapeutic reality: their
potentiality helped in healing many kinds of diseases and restore the health of patients.
With the progress of research and the development of new therapy protocols, it will be
possible to expand stem cell therapy to different specialized areas of pathology.
