RM refers to a range of innovative therapies, clinical interventions, and research activities aimed at repairing or replacing damaged or diseased human cells, tissues, and organs, with an emphasis on conditions currently considered incurable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile RM is often discussed using examples, standards, and governance models from high-income countries (the so-called “Global North”), much less is documented about its realities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in the “Global South.” These contexts are frequently overlooked in ways that understate their contributions, impose ill-fitting external frameworks, or perpetuate assumptions of absence or inactivity. Such omissions contribute to epistemic injustice, in which certain perspectives, priorities, and knowledge systems are marginalized in global health innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResponding to this imbalance, th\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ee present work \u003c\/span\u003eassembles interdisciplinary contributions from scholars and practitioners deeply engaged with RM in LMICs. It adopts a collaborative bioethics approach that does not treat ethics as an afterthought to technological progress, but as integral to how innovation is imagined, governed, and shared. The collection employs a “reconnaissance mode of inquiry” to reveal underexplored practices, governance dynamics, and normative perspectives, allowing for locally grounded accounts that resist the constraints of dominant narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in the volume are organized in two parts:\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFoundational Critiques\u003c\/strong\u003e — Analytical treatments of epistemic injustice, global asymmetries, and ethical pluralism in RM.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eNational Case Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e — Country-specific explorations of RM governance, practice, and ethics in diverse settings across Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy illuminating both the commonalities and divergences that emerge from these contexts, th\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eis book \u003c\/span\u003eoffers a richer, more inclusive account of RM and its ethical governance.
