Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Brain Diseases Understanding the Methods, Epigenetic Basis, and Applications for Regenerative Medicine. /

The principle goal of regenerative medicine is the restoration of damaged, dysfunctional, or missing cellular tissue, up to and including whole organs. Growing healthy replacement tissue, in vivo or in vitro, plays an important role in anticipated therapies. To generate competent replacement materia...
