The idea of regenerative medicine is indeed ground breaking because it breaks the supposition that human cannot generate cells, tissues, and even organs. The things that are responsible for the impossible made possible are the stem cells. In regenerative medicine, stem cells are used to generate the new cells that will be used to replace the ones that are broken or damaged due to aging, free radicals, or other reasons such as diseases.
When the impossible is made possible by regenerative medicine and the technology to generate brand new cells, the medical field is enhanced significantly because now people have better chances to recover from their illness, even the severe ones such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The regenerative medicine and stem cells have been the subjects of researches and experiments for more than 25 years and Dr. Robert Lanza is one of the leading scientists who is involved in it.
It is something that cannot be denied that when something that was used to be impossible made possible, controversies would arise. This is exactly what happened to the subject of regenerative medicine. Controversies are everywhere and this is because of the fact that regenerative medicine involves the use of embryonic stem cells which are derived from pre-implantation embryos. Despite all the controversies, scientists continue to develop a number of effective ways in implementing regenerative medicine in treatments for treating disease. This is exactly what the scientists do in Advanced Cell Technology in which Dr. Robert Lanza is the Chief Scientific Officer.
