ABSTRACT
In Figure 67 we noted the three main areas to be addressed in health care: diagnostics, therapeutics and restorative or regenerative medicine The two first steps have been addressed in the two preceding chapters. The goal of regenerative medicine, the third main area of health care, is to repair diseased parts of the body. Some people are born with serious deficiencies. Accidents can lead to serious damage of the body: Some parts are destroyed or seriously injured. The aging of populations in many countries also leads to an increasing demand for regenerative medicine.
