Here's a breakdown of the terms:
* Regenerative medicine focuses on the repair or replacement of damaged tissues or organs through the use of stem cells, growth factors, and biomaterials.
* Tissue engineering is a subfield of regenerative medicine that focuses on creating tissues or organs in vitro (in a lab) using cells, biomaterials, and bioreactors.
Both terms encompass the concept of using cells to grow new body parts, which can then be used as natural prostheses.
