Regeneration is the process by which some organisms replace or restore lost or amputated body parts. Learn how regeneration occurs in different organisms, how it relates to growth and reproduction, and what factors influence its distribution and adaptiveness.
Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [1] Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans.
Dec 11, 2023 · Most research organisms used to study regeneration can regrow body parts that humans can’t. The planarian can regenerate its entire body from one small piece of tissue, and the zebrafish can repair significant damage to its heart, fins, pancreas, eyes, brain, and spinal cord.
Jan 1, 2018 · The combination of review articles and primary research articles in this Special Issue on Regeneration cover a wide range of diverse aspects of how tissue regeneration is orchestrated at a cell and molecular level.

Nov 9, 2023 · This Perspective highlights the fundamental questions in the regeneration process from start to finish and how they might be addressed to facilitate cross-species studies.
Sep 14, 2010 · What are the cellular sources of regeneration? How are regenerative signals initiated and targeted, and what controls proliferation and patterning during regeneration?
Mar 30, 2022 · A book by two marine biologists that explores the phenomenon of regeneration in different animals and ecosystems, from hydras to humans. It examines the mechanisms, limits and implications of regeneration, and how it relates to growth and development.
