The shortcomings on organ transplantation, that is, a critical shortage of donor organs, rejection, the need for life-long immunosuppression, and unstable biocompatibility, have stimulated the development of regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine is composed of three factors: cells, growth factors, and scaffolds. Cell sources may be the most important issues in regenerative medicine. We are giving an outline of cell sources and immunoisolation through islet transplantation. Recently, great efforts are being made to isolate and identify the characteristics of the stem cell population of various tissues. The use of stem cells must provide an almost limitless supply of cells for transplantation. The terminal purpose of regenerative medicine is the reconstruction of the whole body. Although the image is often hasty that the results of cultured cells in dish are directly linked with clinical use, the present study must be grown from dish scale to bench scale, pilot scale, and human scale.
