Regenerative Medicine is a rapidly evolving field of therapy integrating different scientific and technological areas, including cell biology, biomedical and computer engineering, and clinical medicine, thus creating an interdisciplinary exchange network of skill, ideas, materials and efforts between basic and clinical research. Even if significant achievements have been obtained particularly in Plastic Surgery, Ophthalmology and Orthopedics, the field is still experimental and so far has failed to meet the expectations. The present article reviews the major hurdles that are still hampering the translational "bench to bedside" process and limiting the availability of these innovative therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Regenerative Medicine is a rapidly evolving field of therapy integrating different scientific and technological areas, including cell biology, biomedical and computer engineering, and clinical medicine, thus creating an interdisciplinary exchange network of skill, ideas, materials and efforts between basic and clinical research. Even if significant achievements have been obtained particularly in Plastic Surgery, Ophthalmology and Orthopedics, the field is still experimental and so far has failed to meet the expectations. The present article reviews the major hurdles that are still hampering the translational "bench to bedside" process and limiting the availability of these innovative therapeutic tools.
