- Abstract:
The article discusses research in regenerative medicine, with a focus on a method of tissue engineering that utilizes the regenerative function of the naturally occurring extracellular matrix surrounding cells in an organism. Topics include how the implantation of an animal extracellular matrix into large wounds will attract stem cells to the region to regenerate tissue, the use of the method in repairing hernias, tendons, or organs, and the potential it poses for improved treatment and scar minimization for survivors of explosions.
