Introduction: The Boundaries and Mobilities of Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

The analysis of any field of inquiry depends on a clear understanding of where its boundaries lie and what thereby is to be the object of that analysis. However, many scientific fields today are characterised as having highly permeable boundaries, reflecting a number of processes at work — the moves towards transdisciplinarity, the creation of integrative technology platforms (as in the use of bioinformatics or genomics science in diverse domains), and the growth of globalised networks of science seeking to address non-field-specific issues (such as climate change or the stability of ecosystems [Parker et al., 2010]). These processes are evident, for example, in areas such as nanotechnology and informatics. While these dynamics generate considerable activity and churn in an area, there is typically a parallel move towards trying to discipline and police a field, its new entrants, who among those are seen to occupy core compared with more peripheral positions and locations, and so on. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
