Definition

  • Historically, tissue transplantation, especially of refrigerated tissue (after Filatov). It was theorized that nonspecific substances, capable of initiating restorative processes, formed in tissues when refrigerated. Cell therapy (after Niehans) refers to implantation of tissue by injection. Originally this involved fresh cells but later frozen or lyophilized cells. Historically, substances that are produced in isolated animal and vegetable tissues in the process of adapting to adverse conditions, that when injected into the body stimulate and accelerate tissue regeneration.
