Abstract

Regenerative medicine (based on the implantation of immature cells, or on the fusion of these with damaged cells, or on the contribution of factors that allow cell regeneration) involves opening a new therapeutic path. Since its beginnings, this area has had a tense problem due to the approach, originally at the end of 1998, of using preimplantation human embryos as a source of embryonic stem cells. Immediately after, the "plasticity" of the undifferentiated cell reserves of the adult organism was known and that these could contribute to a regeneration of the affected tissues in the organism itself and with its own weapons.
