The community for regenerative medicine: RegMedNet
Posted by Freya Leask, on 10 January 2018
What happens when you apply developmental biology to patients? Regenerative medicine!
Now, here are some more difficult questions: Who owns a cell-based therapy? What is a ‘minimally manipulated’ product, and should they be administered to patients if they haven’t been approved by the FDA?
In 2015, RegMedNet, the network for regenerative medicine, was launched to provide insight into the questions above, unite the diverse regenerative medicine community, and educate, inspire and move the field forward.
Regenerative medicine therapies aim to replace or regenerative human cells, tissues or organs to restore normal function where it has been lost. Every step in the regenerative medicine and cell therapy pipeline is covered on RegMedNet, from development, clinical trial and manufacture to regulation and commercialization.
Working closely with our sister journal, the award-winning Regenerative Medicine, RegMedNet provides free educational webinars, expert opinion and insight, and covers the latest news and insight. RegMedNet members also get free access to selected articles from Future Science Group titles such as Regenerative Medicine.
What can you find on RegMedNet?

In #TalkingRegMed episode 5, Aidan Maartens discusses how developmental biology can inform regenerative medicine.
How can you contribute?
Get published, without the wait: like the Node, members of RegMedNet can post their own content, such as news, opinions, conference posters and more. We’re currently commissioning contributions on organoids and regenerative cardiology, but you can post about anything that’s relevant.
RegMedNet members have free access to selected Future Science Group titles, such as this article from Regenerative Medicine that was featured in the Washington Post.
You can also comment on posts and upvote the posts you enjoyed the most.

New: the Award for Cultivating Excellence
Last year, we launched the Award for Cultivating Excellence to recognize achievement in other areas, such as career development and scientific outreach. We had over 50 nominations from around the world, and our first ever winner was the lab of Professor Julie Daniels, Cells for Sight, University College London (UK). You can read their lab profile and watch interviews with members of the lab on their Winner’s Spotlight page.
We haven’t opened nominations for the 2018 Award yet, but you can register your interest using the form below so you’re the first to hear!
