Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine
Stem Cell Biology involves the study of stem cells, the cells that give rise to all other cells which have specialized functions, such as cardiac cells and muscle cells. Because they divide to form new cells, regenerative medicine often involves stem cell biology. Regenerative medicine focuses on replacing, engineering, or regenerating cells, tissues, or even whole organs to restore functionality following biological damage.
