In the past few months significant insights into the molecular controls of damaged tissue and how to manipulate them for better regeneration has been revealed for treating rare muscular disorders, which also extends to the larger number of more common degenerative diseases While it is convenient to indicate that the application of stem cells to damaged tissues represents a panacea, the reality is far more dynamic. Following damage the body hosts a series of tightly controlled and interactive events linked to tissue repair, inflammation and removal of redundant tissue which has started to or has already died.
