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…

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…

Hope for Stroke In addition to classroom experience, I have also joined the research team that is focusing on the possible use of stem cell therapies in stroke patients. In this research project, I will have the opportunity to see whether stem cells will be able to regenerate useful motor function by performing gait analysis…
