Identification of the Most Commonly Used Laboratory Techniques in Regenerative Medicine: A Roadmap for Developing a Competency Based Education Curriculum

Figure 1

Compiled list of techniques used in regenerative medicine publications. A total of 887 data points were collected from a review of over 150 regenerative medicine articles which led to the identification of 169 distinct techniques. Techniques appeared in as many as 90 articles and as few as 1 article. The identified techniques were organized into 7 categories including animal models, cell assays, molecular assays, immunoassays, fluorescence/imaging, and physiological/functional and miscellaneous. A comprehensive list of the techniques identified in this literature review is available in Supplemental Materials.
