Regenerative medicine has emerged over the last two decades as one of the most rapidly developing fields in medical science, demonstrating unprecedented potential to restore severely damaged or destroyed tissue and even “grow” new tissue in its place. Although the most advanced research, both laboratory and clinical, is taking place in well-financed high-tech settings—including centers in China, India and Brazil—Cuba is one of a handful of other developing countries—along with Argentina, South Africa, Egypt, Iran, and Malaysia—producing regenerative therapies suited to the needs and capacity of their health care systems.
