In his 1987 book Controlling Life: Jacques Loeb and the Engineering Ideal in Biology, Philip Pauly presented his readers with the biologist Jacques Loeb and his role in developing an emphasis on control of life processes. Loeb's work on artificial parthenogenesis, for example, provided an example of bioengineering at work. This paper revisits Pauly's study of Loeb and explores the way current research in regenerative medicine reflects the same tradition. A history of regeneration research reveals patterns of thinking and research methods that both echo Loeb's ideology and point the way to modern studies. Pauly's work revealed far more than we readers realized at the time of its publication.
菲利普·保利在其1987年出版的《控制生命：雅克·洛布与生物学中的工程理想》一书中，向读者介绍了生物学家雅克·洛布以及他在推动对生命过程控制的重视方面所起的作用。例如，洛布关于人工孤雌生殖的研究就是生物工程实际应用的一个例子。本文重新审视了保利对洛布的研究，并探讨了再生医学当前的研究如何反映了同一传统。再生研究的历史揭示了思维模式和研究方法，这些既呼应了洛布的思想观念，又为现代研究指明了方向。保利的著作所揭示的内容远比我们读者在其出版时所意识到的要多得多。
