对于再生医学的清晰和准确的定义缺乏共识。我们在此建议作者根据各个贡献学科的研究人员的意见制定一个定义。这一定义强调了该领域的跨学科性、恢复受损功能的目标以及有助于实现这一目标的各种技术。通过强调再生医学定义缺乏共识，并提出我们自己的定义，我们希望激发该领域内对该主题的讨论，并鼓励再生医学界共同努力制定共识定义。我们相信，再生医学的明确定义有助于统一该领域，对于促进政策制定者、资助机构和公众以及科学和医学学科个人之间的理解至关重要。版权所有 (C) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
There exists a lack of consensus regarding a clear and precise definition of regenerative medicine. We suggest here a definition developed by the authors with input from researchers in the various contributing disciplines. This definition emphasizes the interdisciplinarity of the field, its goal of restoring impaired function, and the wide variety of technologies that can contribute to achieving this goal. By highlighting the lack of agreement regarding a definition of regenerative medicine, and by proposing our own definition, we hope to stimulate discussion on the subject within the field and to encourage the regenerative medicine community to work together to develop a consensus definition. We believe that a clear definition of regenerative medicine could help to unify the field and is essential to facilitate understanding among policy makers, funding agencies and the general public, as well as individuals from scientific and medical disciplines.
