Abstract
- New findings in regenerative medicine have always been combined with numerous animal studies. Therefore, choos‑ ing the right translational animal model plays an important role in transferring as much basic knowledge as possible to clinical application in this field. Since microsurgery has many capabilities to perform precise interventions on small animal models and facilitates other regenerative medicine procedures, based on scientific articles, we believe that the key to the flourishing of regenerative medicine in the clinic is the use of microsurgery.
