Traumatic Brain InjuryThere are no current treatments for TBI, and to find one would help so many people, especially young children. So to me, regenerative bioscience is important because it can help to treat things like traumatic brain injuries, which have no current treatment.

New Discovery Scientific research is important because we can use it to gain an understanding of this world, this universe, and how to improve humanity. If there is one thing that I learned this past year, it is that medicine does not have all of the answers, but that it is ever expanding. Regenerative bioscience…

Through research, the team is able to revisit past findings, revise current theories and hypothesize new ideas, thus growing science as a whole. The applications of scientific approach are just as important as the intellectual gains: from drug therapies and cancer treatments to developing prosthetics and surgical techniques, scientific research is constantly reshaping the medical…

Regenerative bioscience opens up opportunities to treat diseases that do not have effective treatments available. It uses the organism’s own cells as therapy. This eliminates problems like rejection, as seen when using donor organs, tissue, or cells. Being able to repair injured or diseased tissues with stem cells is huge for the medical community. Regenerative…

I became really interested in regenerative medicine when I came across a National Geographic documentary called “How to Build a Beating Heart” in high school. Ever since then I have been fascinated by regenerative medicine and the possibilities in the future of the field. When I came to college, I immediately started looking for research…

Regrow Limbs The ability to regrow what has been lost is an amazing trait that very few animals have. I learned in my human biochemistry class last semester that some species are able to grow new limbs within a matter of days, without any aid. Regenerative bioscience is a field that seeks to utilize what…
