This document discusses the potential role of regenerative medicine in the next 100 years. It outlines several approaches being researched like in vivo organ regeneration using stem cell transplantation and differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells. Ex vivo organ regeneration techniques are also discussed, including decellularizing and reseeding pig lungs with human cells. The document suggests that within a decade, significant advancements could be made in areas like xenotransplantation and robotic transplantation to further regenerative medicine goals.
