It has been well established that vertebrates of lower species, particularly urodele amphibians (common called “salamanders”), have an intrinsic capacity to regenerate a variety of body parts, including limbs, tail, jaw, and retina.

In higher mammals, examples of complex tissue regeneration are less common but can be seen in the seasonal regrowth of deer antlers.

For humans, there is description of distal fingertip regeneration in children, but not in fully developed adults. Thus, some concluded that regenerative potential declines with the evolution of complexity. See review by Gurtner GC et al. (2007) Annu. Rev. Med. 58:299-312.

For an adult with a severed distal finger, the convention treatment generally includes surgical debridement of damaged tissue and suture of the residual tissues with the severed fingertip (if it can be retrieved) or direct closure of the wound (if the fingertip cannot be found or salvageable) to form a stump. Thus, this approach not only leads to scarring of the hand, but also results in reduction deformity and, more importantly, loss of physiological function of the finger.

The invention of MEBO’s regenerative therapy completely changes such a grim picture and represents a major paradigm shift in this field.

Consistent with the regeneration of functional skin organ of an adult, application of MEBO’s regenerative therapy to human adult limb regeneration has produced groundbreaking clinical r esults.

The clinical evidence collected from near a thousand cases shows that after treated with the MEBO regenerative therapy adult patients with severely damaged or lost limbs can recover with fingertips regenerated with normal physiological structure and function.
