REGENERATIVE MEDICINE 2.0
RegenMed 2.0 web-page coming very soon, however, here's a small sampler...
"2006 heralded the era of Regenerative
Medicine 2.0 (RegenMed 2.0) where the focus is almost
exclusively on the translation of research into
commercially successful products. A stark contrast to the
period 1985-2002 (RegenMed 1.0) when research goals almost
totally predominated the fledgling
industry."*
"Regenerative Medicine 2.0 is well
underway"

"RegenMed 2.0 is already
here"
"Patients' lives are being transformed around the world,
due to the work of many people attending the World
Congress. Regenerative medicine companies can, and need to,
evolve into successful entities, focused on business
fundamentals in order to continue the work that has been
started."

"When needing to distinguish eras,
there is a requirement for pragmatic terminology.
Historians have universally adopted a numbering system for
this, for example, World War I and II, and Henry I–VIII.
This logical approach has been adopted by the technology
sector to indicate new versions of established software
programmes (Windows 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) and periods of
commercialisation of the Internet (Web 1.0 and 2.0).** A
similar nomenclature has been proposed to distinguish the
two distinctly different periods of the regenerative
medicine industry: Regenerative Medicine 1.0 spanning
1985–2002, and Regenerative Medicine 2.0 commencing in
approximately 2006.* In keeping with the vogue of blending
technology words, for example, picture element (pixel),
electronic mail (email) and iPod broadcast (podcast) and
the fact that in everyday conversation regenerative
medicine is frequently blended to “regenmed,” it seems
sensible to adopt the terms RegenMed 1.0 and 2.0 when
discussing the two separate periods in the history of the
sector."**
