Regenerative Medicine: Therapeutic Applications, Challenges, and Policy Options
Regenerative Medicine: Therapeutic Applications, Challenges, and Policy Options, Report no. GAO-23-105430, Jul. 2023
Regenerative medicine restores or replaces human cells, tissues, or organs affected by disease. This may eventually help cure many conditions that are currently considered difficult to treat. For example, a patient's own cells could be used to create a personalized organ, which could eliminate the possibility that a patient's body will reject a donated organ. However, there are challenges with developing regenerative medicine technologies. We offer 11 policy options to help address such challenges. For example, federal agencies could help by supporting public-private partnerships that can share costs for manufacturing facilities.
