This breakthrough could one day end donor shortages.
Regenerative medicine is transforming organ transplants by enabling patients to grow replacement tissues directly inside their own bodies. Using programmed stem cells and biological scaffolds, doctors guide new tissue growth for hearts, livers, and kidneys. Because these cells are genetically identical to the patient, the risk of immune rejection is eliminated. Early trials show promising results, with patients regenerating heart muscle after heart attacks and restoring kidney and liver function. The new organs are not only functional but biologically younger and healthier. This breakthrough could one day end donor shortages, making organ failure a fully treatable condition through self-healing science.
