Organ transplantation is the current approach to treat many patients suffering chronic diseases that lead to organ failure; however, a severe shortage of donor organs has made transplantation a less viable option as the population ages and new cases of organ failure increase. Regenerative medicine is a new field that offers novel therapies for patients with injuries, end-stage organ failure, or other clinical problems. Access to different types of stem cells and native and synthetic biomaterials, as well as therapeutic cloning and cellular reprogramming, are opening new avenues for novel therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine.
