Discover how FDA’s expedited programs like RMAT and Fast Track accelerate the approval process for regenerative medicine therapies, helping patients access treatments faster. 

The Power of Regenerative Medicine 

Regenerative medicine is a highly dynamic area with the ability to significantly enhance the standard of care for patients. This is an umbrella term that can include any of the following: cell therapies, therapeutic tissue engineering products, human cell and tissue products, gene therapies, or combinatory products with regenerative components. 

The Power of Biomimetic Medicine 

Regenerative medicine therapies can treat, alter, reverse or cure serious conditions that other treatments only hope to ameliorate.
