2 DEFINITIONS REGENERATIVE BIOLOGY: STUDY OF THE MECHANISMS OF REGENERATION AT MOLECULAR, CELLULAR, TISSUE, ORGAN AND APPENDAGE LEVELS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE: TRANSLATION OF RESEARCH ON REGENERATIVE MECHANISMS INTO THERAPIES THAT PROMOTE THE REGENERATION OF REGENERATION-DEFICIENT STRUCTURES

3 MECHANISMS OF REGENERATION AT THE ORGAN AND TISSUE LEVEL Compensatory Hyperplasia Adult Stem Cell Activation Dedifferentiation

4 STRATEGIES OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE CHEMICAL INDUCTION CELL TRANSPLANTS BIOARTIFICIAL TISSUE

5 CHEMICAL INDUCTION OF REGENERATION

6 CHEMICAL INDUCTION OF REGENERATION SCREENING ECM MOLECULES FOR EFFECTS ON CELLS AND SCREENING LIBRARIES OF SOLUBLE MOLECULES FOR THEIR EFFECTS ON CELLS TETHERED TO ECM MOLECULES

45 LEAST THINGS

46 FERMAT S PRINCIPLE OF LEAST TIME In going from point A to point B, light takes the path that that requires the shortest time.

47 PRINCIPLE OF LEAST ACTION The path of an object or particle from point A to point B is the path for which the kinetic energy minus the potential energy Is the least

48 RULE OF LEAST (SHORTEST) INTERCALATION Given a choice between the longer path or the shorter path to eliminate a positional discontinuity, cells always choose the shorter path OR THE REVERSE
