Regenerative medicine approaches based on bioresorbable materials offer a promising alternative to autografts and allografts. The biomaterial based strategies promote tissue repair or regeneration by creating natural living tissues for replacement, delivering therapeutics, or facilitating the body&#8217;s self-healing capacities. This research would benefit a wide range of patients in need of tissue transplantation.<\/p>\n<p><b>The best advice I&#8217;ve ever been given is:<\/b> Be curious, learn broadly, and choose
