Advances in cell, developmental and molecular biology, and the
discovery of regeneration-competent cells in many non-regenerating
mammalian tissues, have given impetus to systematic investigations
that will enable us to regenerate these tissues by cell
transplantation or the pharmaceutical induction of regeneration
from the body s own tissues. A significant avenue of research is
the identification of the soluble and insoluble signals and their
transduction pathways that govern the proliferation and
differentiation of regeneration-competent cells, and the signals
that inhibit their activity after injury.
How far can we go in our quest for regeneration? We will
probably be able to induce the regeneration of some tissues, such
as skin or even spinal cord, within a few years. The regeneration
of others, such as heart, lung, kidney or appendages, may be more
complex and difficult, but we should not view them as impossible.
They will just take a little longer."
