  • Work cat.: The promises and challenges of regenerative medicine, 2005:p. vi (present state of the art of regenerative medicine)
  • Principles of regenerative biology, 2007:p. 2 (building missing or damaged tissues and organs in humans through application of bioengineering or stem cell technology is now called "regenerative medicine")
  • Cambridge textbook of bioethics, 2008:p. 153 (regenerative medicine: emerging interdisciplinary field of research and clinical applications focused on repair, replacement, or regeneration of cells, tissues, or organs, to restore impaired functions; it aims to provide elements required for in vivo repair, design replacements to seamlessly interact with living body, and to stimulate body's intrinsic capacities to regenerate. Disciplines contributing to this field include genetics and molecular biology, materials science, stem cell biology, transplantation, developmental biology, and tissue engineering)
  • MESH online, March 5, 2008:(regenerative medicine: field of medicine concerned with developing and using strategies aimed at repair or replacement of damaged, diseased, or deficient organs, tissues, and cells via tissue engineering, cell transplantation, and artificial organs and bioartificial organs and tissues)
  • Principles of regenerative medicine, 2007:p. 2 (regenerative medicine seeks new therapies for patients with injuries or diseases in which body's own responses cannot restore functional tissue; therapeutic use of growth factors and cytokines to stimulate production/function of endogenous cells has shown greatest clinical impact to date)
