Demographic change and the spread of diseases are challenging our society like never before. Regenerative medicine procedures and therapies offer solutions even for diseases that were previously difficult or impossible to treat. The first cell therapies, e. g. for the regeneration of skin or cartilage, are already clinically applied and a growing number of cellular therapies are undergoing clinical trials. Regenerative medicine deals with regenerating dysfunctional cells, tissues and organs by means of biological replacement by stimulating the body's own regeneration and repair processes. This demonstrates its enormous potential and social significance.
