Foreword: Regenerative Medicine: From Protocol to Patient

Third Edition The vision to unravel and develop biological healing mechanisms based on evolving molecular and cellular technologies has led to a worldwide scientific endeavour to establish regenerative medicine. This field involves interdisciplinary basic and (pre) clinical research and development on the repair, replacement, regrowth or regeneration of cells, tissues or organs in congenital or acquired diseases. Stem cell science and regenerative biology is prompting the most fascinating and controversial medical development of the twenty-first century. It can be envisaged that this development will establish completely new molecular and cellular techniques for medical diagnosis and therapy. The earl
