Biomolecules. 2020 May 12;10(5):749. doi: 10.3390/biom10050749.

Abstract

Strategies to create functional organs and tissues is of great interest for use in regenerative medicine in order to repair or replace the lost tissues due to injury, disease, as well as aging. Several new treatment options, including stem cell treatments and tissue-engineered substitutes for certain indications, have been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are currently available. This special issue will cover new therapies and strategies that are currently being investigated under preclinical and clinical settings.
