Where this comes from

Abstract

Harnessing endogenous repair mechanisms to promote tissue regeneration in situations in which it does not normally occur has long been a goal in biomedical science. Recent advances in tissue stem cells indicate that this goal may now be achievable. Here we consider both the promise and the hurdles we still have to overcome.
