What is Limb Regeneration? Limb regeneration refers to the process of regrowing lost limbs or digits, offering a potential alternative to current prosthetic solutions for individuals living with limb loss. While regeneration is already seen in certain species, such as salamanders and starfish, the field of regenerative medicine aims to translate these biological processes into solutions for human patients. Regenerating entire limbs would represent a revolutionary advancement in medicine, enabling individuals to restore lost function, mobility, and sensation. DONATE WHAT WE DO 5.6 million people in the US are currently living with limb loss or limb difference in the United States. Of that, 2.3 million are people living with limb loss and 3.4 million are individuals living with limb difference Link to Resource Approx. total of $500,000+ costs of prosthetics, including necessary replacements, fittings, and maintenance over a lifetime, especially when factoring in the associated medical care, physical therapy, and adjustments required for long-term use​ Link to Resource 80% of Amputees experience phantom pain Link to Resource Did you know? Scientists have been able to induce limb regeneration in a variety of animals who do not normally regenerate their limbs. Currently they are in pre-clinical trials with mammals Thousands of researchers around the world are working toward full limb regeneration, with institutions like Harvard and UCONN having entire departments dedicated to the effort. The first ever private company with the goal of taking limb regeneration to the clinic was established in 2020, Morphoceuticals Dr Cato Laurencin has been able to regenerate every tissue in the human leg with the exception of a joint which they are actively working on Latest Updates ​From our impact to events and latest news in the limb regeneration space, we are constantly involved in keeping our cause and mission front and center.

I’d like to know what limbregenallience is about and what they are doing for amputees Like Reply Guest May 19 Replying to Guest Regrowing a limb basically, I believe. Very interesting and I think it is in fact possible and not too far off. Worth reading the articles. I am AKA and really just need my leg back. Being this way the rest of our lives is not what we need to expect. I would goto the contact page of this site and add your info.

Limb Regeneration in the News Projects that have gotten news worthy attention listed here. This does not include all the researchers across the globe working on relevant research toward regenerative medicine. Morphoceuticals/Tufts University Morphoceuticals is a trailblazing, spinoff company from Tufts University whose intent is creating a basis for limb regeneration. Co-founders and lead scientists Dr. Michael Levin and Dr. David Kaplan have been able to induce full limb regeneration in a variety of animals, including frogs, that do not normally regenerate limbs. Dr. Levin and Dr. Kaplan's team are using many already FDA approved ion channel drugs via a "biodome" to administer long term limb growth. With a clear vision to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine and restore lost limbs to those who have experienced limb loss, Morphoceuticals is at the forefront of limb regeneration research, bringing hope to patients in need. They are currently in pre-clinical trials with mammals and engaging the FDA on the necessary steps for clinical application regarding amputation stump health. Morphoceuticals in the News Hartford Engineer a Limb Initiative The Hartford Engineer a Limb (HEAL) Initiative is headed up by Dr. Cato Laurencin whose research has famously facilitated bone and knee ligaments growth. This program aims to combine many medical disciplines, such as stem cell science, to give limbs back to those who have lost them. Dr. Laurencin has set a goal of 2030 to complete this incredible mission. HEAL in the News Stem Cell Research Various researchers across the globe are using stem cell therapy to regenerate bone and tissue growth. See What's New In Stem Cell Research

THE LIMB REGENERATION ALLIANCE Believing For What Was Once Thought Impossible OUR MISSION The Limb Regeneration Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to fund research being done around amputation stump health and full limb and digit regeneration. Roughly 2 million Americans are suffering from the loss of a limb and over 185,000 annually experience an amputation. While prosthetics have been instrumental in improving the lives of amputees, nothing will ever replace the real thing. Today, with the rapid advancements in biotechnology, we believe it's a matter of time and resources. We hope to help provide the resources to push this scientific research over the goal line and into clinical translation. ​ We invite you to join us in our mission to fund limb regeneration and amputation stump health research. Together we can help give amputees an alternative to prosthetics. WHAT WE DO We want to move the amputee community into a powerful force advocating for improved medical solutions. By providing avenues for donations to advance research, we empower individuals to directly shape the trajectory of scientific progress. It's time to shift the narrative – what was once referred to as the realm of science fiction is now within our grasp, a tangible reality awaiting our collective support. Together we can regenerate hope.
