Regenerative therapy is an innovative medical approach that focuses on restoring or replacing damaged tissues, cells, or organs to re-establish their normal function. It leverages the body’s natural healing mechanisms and advanced medical technologies, such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and tissue engineering, to repair and regenerate tissues affected by injury, disease, or aging.
Stem Cell Therapy
- Uses stem cells derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood.
- Stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, aiding in tissue repair and regeneration.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
- Involves injecting concentrated platelets from the patient’s blood into the affected area.
- Platelets release growth factors that promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Tissue Engineering
- Combines biomaterials and cells to create tissue substitutes for damaged organs.
Gene Therapy
- Introduces or modifies genetic material in cells to treat or prevent diseases.
Applications
- Orthopedics: Repairing cartilage, tendons, and ligaments; treating osteoarthritis.
- Neurology: Managing spinal cord injuries and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.
- Cardiology: Regenerating damaged heart tissue after heart attacks.
- Dermatology: Healing chronic wounds and improving skin rejuvenation.
- Dentistry: Regenerating bone and gum tissue.
