Digit Tip Regeneration: Merging Regeneration Biology with Regenerative Medicine
Regeneration Biology is the study of organisms with endogenous regenerative abilities, whereas Regenerative Medicine focuses on engineering solutions for human injuries that do not regenerate. While the two fields are fundamentally different in their approach, there is an obvious interface involving mammalian regeneration models. The fingertip is the only part of the human limb that is regenera...
متن کاملPutting Regeneration into Regenerative Medicine
The prevalence of blinding diseases such as agerelated macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy have significantly increased in the United States over the last decade.1 In response to the higher incidence of retinal degenerative diseases, the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently proposed the audacious goal of regenerating n...
متن کاملDevelopment and regeneration of the neonatal digit tip in mice.
The digit tips of children and rodents are known to regenerate following amputation. The skeletal structure that regenerates is the distal region of the terminal phalangeal bone that is associated with the nail organ. The terminal phalanx forms late in gestation by endochondral ossification and continues to elongate until sexual maturity (8 weeks of age). Postnatal elongation at its distal end ...
متن کاملAppendage regeneration in adult vertebrates and implications for regenerative medicine.
The regeneration of complex structures in adult salamanders depends on mechanisms that offer pointers for regenerative medicine. These include the plasticity of differentiated cells and the retention in regenerative cells of local cues such as positional identity. Limb regeneration proceeds by the local formation of a blastema, a growth zone of mesenchymal stem cells on the stump. The blastema ...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cell and regenerative medicine: regeneration versus immunomodulatory challenges.
Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC) are now presented with the opportunities of multifunctional therapeutic approaches. Several reports are in support of their self-renewal, capacity for multipotent differentiation, and immunomodulatory properties. They are unique to contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, ligament, tendon, and adipose. In addition to pro...
