Metabolic Disease Epidemics: Emerging Challenges in Regenerative Medicine
Overview
Affiliations
The interplay between cell/tissue damage caused by metabolic dysfunction and regenerative potential remains elusive. The tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) field is now facing a worldwide epidemic of obesity. This Forum article uncovers prospective questions to be addressed in TERM toward the development of effective regenerative therapies adjusted to these new demands.
