# Regenerative Medicine
**Entity class:** Biomedical field
**Domain:** Artificial intelligence / science / political economy
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
**Regenerative Medicine** seeks to restore damaged tissues and functions by activating, replacing, or engineering biological repair.
## Mechanism and Consequence
Limb regeneration in an adult mammal is a powerful benchmark because it requires coordinated control of patterning, growth, vascularization, innervation, immunity, and functional integration.

> "People living with age-related vision loss like the two optic neuropathies we are currently focused on, open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), have no therapeutic options that address the underlying damage to retinal ganglion cells. With ER-100, we are testing whether we can restore these cells to a more youthful state, not just slowing vision loss but potentially reversing it."
