Abstract	The use of In Vitro cultivated cells for regenerative medicine holds great potential, but generally falls short due to a resulting decline in cellular functional quality that makes them inferior as compared to their In Vitro counterparts. In this presentation, we will consider what conditions are present in the ideal environment of the cell, and take a look at how well conventional methods, traditionally used for In Vivo cell cultivation, manage to provide such conditions. We will identify several potential limitations inherent in conventional technology, review previously published results, and formulate a scientific rationale for a major underlying problem. We will then move forward to look at a novel technology for cell cultivation specifically developed for overcoming this problem, and (for the first time) look at some of the data that is emerging from ongoing trials. Collectively, we will then consider the implications and advantages these results may have, and how this technology may provide benefits across the wider field of Life Science.
