Human Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine

 

– A European Perspective on Scientific, Ethical and Legal Issues

 

 

Introduction


Stem cell (SC) research holds the promise of treating many serious and disabling diseases and disorders by replacing damaged, lost or diseased cells through regeneration. It can be considered part of a new field of activity that emerged in the early 1990s, rapidly developing
over the last decade, and commonly referred to as either tissue engineering or RM. (While RM includes tissue engineering, it also includes targeted treatments such as gene and small-compound therapies.)


Transplantation remains today the only possible therapy for certain terminal organ insufficiencies (liver, heart, lung, kidney). The increase in chronic diseases and population ageing has led to an increasing demand for transplantation, but at the same time the number of potential donors is decreasing. For many patients, organ transplantation represents the only life-saving treatment available. There are currently 56 000 patients waiting for a suitable organ donor in the European Union (EU).
