Skin diseases are sometimes isolated as vitiligo, however, on other occasions they are externalizations of internal ailments, as occurs in skin cancer and other conditions. In addition to knowing about infectious diseases, they must have knowledge of immunology, neurology, rheumatology and endocrinology.

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE


Regenerative medicine is presented as a field of medicine with a revolutionary potential, offering the possibility of repairing or replacing damaged or sick tissues and organs by stimulating the body's own regenerative capacity or through the use of cells, tissues or biomaterials. This article aims to provide an overview of the concept of regenerative medicine, detailing its different types and objectives within the field of medical services.


**FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS** Regenerative medicine is based on two fundamental pillars:

* Regenerative capacity of the body:** The human body has an innate capacity to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Regenerative medicine seeks to enhance this capacity through various strategies, such as stem cell stimulation or tissue engineering.

* CELLS, TISSUES AND BIOMATERIALS:** Regenerative medicine also uses cells, tissues and biomaterials to replace or repair damaged or sick tissues. Stem cells, in particular, are of great interest due to their ability to differentiate into different types of cells.

**Types of regenerative medicine** 

Regenerative medicine can be classified into different types according to the approach used:

* Cellular Therapy: This therapy is based on the administration of living cells to the patient to repair or replace damaged tissues. The cells can come from the patient (autologists), from a compatible donor (alogenic) or from genetically modified stem cells.

* Tissue Engineering:** This technique involves the creation of artificial tissues in the laboratory using cells, biomaterials and other engineering techniques. The created tissues can then be implanted in the patient to replace damaged or diseased tissues.

* Gene-based medicine:** This approach uses gene therapy to introduce functional genes into the patient's cells in order to correct genetic defects that cause disease.

* Nanomedicine:** Nanomedicine uses nanoparticles to transport drugs, cells or genes to specific body sites more efficiently and safely.

**OBJECTIVES OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE IN MEDICAL SERVICES**

Regenerative medicine has as its main objective the treatment of diseases and conditions that are currently incurable or that require palliative treatment. Specific objectives are:

* Repair damaged tissues:** Regenerative medicine can be used to repair tissues damaged by disease, trauma or aging. This includes repairing bones, cartilage, muscles, skin, and other tissues.

* Replace Sick Organs:** Regenerative medicine can also be used to replace sick or failed organs. This includes transplantation of kidneys, livers, hearts, and other organs.

* Cure Diseases:** Regenerative medicine has the potential to cure diseases caused by genetic defects or by death or specific cell dysfunction. This includes diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and cancer.

ORIGIN AND THEORY OF MEDICINE AND NURSING

The knowledge of prehistoric medical practice comes from paleopathology, or study of the pictographs that showed the medical techniques, of the skulls and skeletons, as well as the surgical instruments of ancient societies and non-technological contemporary. Despite the fact that this study concerns anthropology, some of these practices have survived until modern times, which justifies their consideration in the history of medicine. Serious illnesses were of special interest to primitive men even though they could not treat them. They divided the genesis of the disease into two categories, each with a variety of therapies that were mutually exclusive. The first and most numerous were the processes attributed to the influence of malevolent demons, to whom the projection of an alien spirit, a stone or a worm within the body of the trusting patient was attributed. These diseases had to be tackled through spells, dances, sacrifices, spells, talismans and other measures. If in the e...
