Abstract

Probably for the first time in the history of medicine, through the applications of Regenerative Medicine we can talk about actually "curing" a chronic condition rather than manage these conditions for life or even provide robust solutions for life-threatening diseases, including deadly hematological cancers, diabetes or progressive neurological conditions like ALS. Although this field is becoming a frontier only in recent times, there is documented evidence of this science in older times, including during the Greek times. Prometheus was supposed to possess an immortal liver which was feasted by the eagle of Zeus; although this has mythological significance, it continues to be of significance today, where we know the liver is one of the organs that have a high regenerative capacity [1]. This exciting field continues to evolve with a new armamentarium of therapies available to treat or potentially cure chronic degenerative conditions that were not known to have a potential cure previously.
