Regenerative Medicine: A New Dawn for Male Reproductive Issues

Abstract

The ‘Regenerative medicine’ holds the promise of engineering damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms to functionally heal previously irreparable tissues or organs. It includes the possibility of growing tissues and organs in the laboratory and implanting them when the body cannot heal itself. It has the potential to eliminate the issues of organ transplant rejection, and the issues of the shortage of organs available for donation by regenerating organs’ cells from the patient’s own tissue or cells. Contemplating on these peculiar qualities of Regenerative Medicine, it seems to have probably revolutionized the mode of treatment or therapy in almost every branch of medicines viz., cardiac, neurological, opthalmic, reproductive disorders etc. Therefore, based on reports from the relevant sources, the present article concisely compiles and retrospects the prospective implications/ applications of stem cells in treating male reproductive issues.
