Regenerative medicine: Invigorating pain management practice

After decades of basic research, regenerative medicine is entering the clinical realm, becoming one of the most innovative and extraordinary trends in medicine today. A key factor that has made this transition possible is a new understanding of the mechanisms of tissue repair. In the past, adequate tissue restoration was believed to require primarily the presence of polypotent cellular material. Recently, however, the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are highly important in tissue regeneration, was found to differ substantially from what was initially taught.
