Regenerative medicine is a group of translational research in engineering of tissue and molecular biology which deals with the "replacement process, engineering or regenerating cells, tissues or organs of human body to replace or re-establish normal function". This area holds the promise of engineering damaged and altered tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own mechanisms of replacement to functionally cure previously irreparable tissues or organs in the body.

It also Include the possibility of growing tissues and organs in the laboratory and implanting them when the body cannot cure itself. Regenerated organ's cells can be obtained from the tissue or cells of the patient, which would potentially resolve the problem of the lower rate of organs available for donation, and rejection of the problem of organ transplant.

There are some biomedical approaches in the field of regenerative medicine may involve the application of stem cells. Examples: injection of stem cells or progenitor cells gained through cell therapies i.e., directed differentiation; the introduction of regeneration by biologically activated molecules administered alone or as a secretion by infused cells i.e., immunomodulation therapy; and transplantation of in vitro grown tissues and organs.
