Leveraging the Full Potential of Regenerative Medicine Requires a Proactive Approach
Regenerative medicine promises to shift healthcare from a reactive model to proactive disease modification by targeting early biological drivers of chronic degeneration.

A systemic pivot toward earlier detection and treatment could unlock the full clinical and economic value of these therapies.
