== Regeneration of the foreskin ==

Recently [[Foreskin regeneration| there has been growing interest in regenerative medicine]] as a means to regenerate the human male [[foreskin]]. This option, unlike non-surgical foreskin restoration, would result in a true human male foreskin being regrown.

Recently [[Foreskin regeneration| there has been growing interest in regenerative medicine]] as a means to regenerate the human male [[foreskin]]. This is a completely different process from foreskin restoration by [[tissue expansion]] as described above. This option, unlike non-surgical foreskin restoration, would result in a true human male foreskin being regrown.

In early 2010, [[Foregen]], a non-profit organization dedicated to funding a clinical trial for the purposes of regrowing the human male foreskin, had been founded. A clinical trial had been scheduled for late 2010, but there were insufficient donations to follow through.<ref>{{REFweb

Foreskin regeneration is only theoretical as of ~~2023~~. No foreskin has ever been regenerated. There is no assurance that foreskin regeneration would actually be successful, if attempted.

Foreskin regeneration is only theoretical as of 2024. No foreskin has ever been regenerated. There is no assurance that foreskin regeneration would actually be successful, if attempted.

[[Foregen]] had announced its desire to conduct trials on human volunteers in April 2023, but it has not yet happened.<ref>{{REFweb
