Hesitant steps from the artificial skin to organ regeneration

This is a historical account of the steps, both serendipitous and rational, that led my group of students and colleagues at MIT and Harvard Medical School to discover induced organ regeneration. Our research led to methods for growing back in adult mammals three heavily injured organs, skin, periphe...

description This is a historical account of the steps, both serendipitous and rational, that led my group of students and colleagues at MIT and Harvard Medical School to discover induced organ regeneration. Our research led to methods for growing back in adult mammals three heavily injured organs, skin, peripheral nerves and the conjunctiva. We conclude that regeneration in adults is induced by a modification of normal wound healing.
