Skin tissue can be regenerated in vivo or in vitro. Other organs and body parts that have been procured to regenerate include: penis, fats, vagina, brain tissue, thymus, and a scaled down human heart. One goal of scientists is to induce full regeneration in more human organs. There are various techniques that can induce regeneration.
Spontaneous regeneration occurs in the human body naturally. The most recognised example of this is the regeneration of the liver, [16] which can regenerate up to two thirds of its mass when injured by surgical removal, ischaemia or after exposure to harmful toxins. [16] (Figure 2) Figure 2: Mechanism of liver regeneration in adult humans
In the event of an injury that damages the skin's protective barrier, the body triggers a response called wound healing. After hemostasis, inflammation white blood cells, including phagocytic macrophages arrive at the injury site. Once the invading microorganisms have been brought under control, the skin proceeds to heal itself.
Scarring caused by acne (left), and photo one day after scar revision surgery: The area around sutures is still swollen from surgery. Scar revision is a process of cutting the scar tissue out. After the excision, the new wound is usually closed up to heal by primary intention, instead of secondary intention. Deeper cuts need a multilayered ...
A company called Tomorrow Biostasis is focusing on human cryopreservation in the hopes it can eventually reverse death. The new Berlin startup has already preserved the bodies of about 10 deceased ...
An example of a tissue regenerating completely after an interruption of morphology is the endometrium; the endometrium after the process of breakdown via the menstruation cycle heals with complete regeneration. [73] In some instances, after a tissue breakdown, such as in skin, a regeneration closer to complete regeneration may be induced by the ...
The use of fish skin with its natural constituent of omega 3, has been developed by an Icelandic company Kereceis. [50] Omega 3 is a natural anti-inflammatory, and the fish skin material acts as a scaffold for cell regeneration. [51] [52] In 2016 their product Omega3 Wound was approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic wounds and burns. [51]
