The Future of Medicine: Regenerative Medicine (Part I)

Regenerative medicine is an exciting and quickly emerging field. By harnessing the bodies own regenerative capabilities, regenerative medicine scientists seek to understand how we treat injuries and diseases from broken bones to neurodegenerative diseases. Conveniently, humans are already equipped with some of their own regenerative capabilities. For example, the liver is able to regrow to […]

New Treatments, New Opportunities, New Potentials: Why We Study Regenerative Medicine (Part II)

The principles of regenerative medicine can be theoretically applied to any cell type in the body. This means that regenerative medicine holds the potential to treat most illnesses, conditions and diseases. Specifically, regenerative medicine can be used to grow or repair organs, whether it be in the context of congenital disease, physical injury or aging. […]

Congenital Heart Disease: How Regenerative Medicine Research is Making a Difference

Here at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, we’re investigating the potential of regenerative medicine to treat and, hopefully, one day prevent, congenital heart disease. ‘Congenital heart diseases’ (CHDs) are the most common serious birth defect in Australia and internationally, affecting 1 in 100 live-born babies. With this troubling statistic, chances are many of us will […]
