Harnessing endogenous repair mechanisms to promote tissue regeneration in situations in which it does not normally occur has long been a goal in biomedical science. Recent advances in tissue stem cells indicate that this goal may now be achievable. Here we consider both the promise and the hurdles we still have to overcome.
利用内源性修复机制促进在正常情况下不会发生的组织再生一直是生物医学科学的一个目标。最近在组织干细胞方面的进展表明,这一目标现在可能是可以实现的。在这里,我们既考虑了这一目标的前景,也考虑了我们仍然需要克服的障碍。
