Regeneration It is important to emphasise the limitations of ageing research. Promises of substantial increases in lifespan, reversing ageing or even immortality are unlikely to be fulfilled in the foreseeable future, if at all. Academy of Medical Sciences, 2009
Pasts | Presents | Futures What are the similarities/differences between contemporary regenerative medicine and historical attempts to regenerate? How and why have public perceptions about the experience/desirability of ageing changed? What are the precursors to regenerative medicine and how/why did the field crystalise? How is the emergence of regenerative medicine changing our relationship with our bodies? How do features of medical regeneration manifest in popular culture? What is their significance? How are commercial aspects of regenerative treatments likely to develop in the future?
