Explanation

Regenerative medicine is the "process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function". Widely attributed to having first been coined by William Haseltine (founder of Human Genome Sciences), the term "Regenerative Medicine" was first found in a 1992 article on hospital administration by Leland Kaiser. The term 'regenerative medicine' is often used synonymously with tissue engineering, although those involved in regenerative medicine place more emphasis on the use of stem cells to produce tissues.
