ABSTRACT
Introduction As mentioned in the Introduction to this book, we are the product of stem cells. Babies are born every day! Incredibly, every cell in our body has our full genetic code. Just like growing dinosaurs in the film Jurassic Park, we can (theoretically) regenerate ourselves or our organs or tissues using the information contained within one cell. Although the concept of regenerative medicine is tangible and easily understandable, the science behind it is not. But even in a largely evidence-based field such as medicine, the collective imagination has soared.
