Regenerative medicine uses biological tools (like stem cells) to heal and restore fuction; prosthetics uses implants and machines. This article from Science Daily notes increased research funding in California for implantable prosthetics to fix blindness, stroke damage and paralysis.
Regenerative medicine uses biological tools (like stem cells) to heal and restore fuction; prosthetics uses implants and machines.
