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.
Epimorphosis is defined as the regeneration of a specific part of an organism in a way that involves extensive cell proliferation of somatic stem cells, [1] dedifferentiation, and reformation, [2] as well as blastema formation. [3]
In ecology regeneration is the ability of an ecosystem – specifically, the environment and its living population – to renew and recover from damage. It is a kind of biological regeneration . Regeneration refers to ecosystems replenishing what is being eaten, disturbed, or harvested.
Regeneration (biology), the ability to recreate lost or damaged cells, tissues, organs and limbs; Regeneration (ecology), the ability of ecosystems to regenerate biomass, using photosynthesis; Regeneration in humans, the ability of humans to recreate, or induce the regeneration of, lost tissue
Regeneration in humans is the regrowth of lost tissues or organs in response to injury. This is in contrast to wound healing, or partial regeneration, ...
Morphallaxis is the regeneration of specific tissue in a variety of organisms due to loss or death of the existing tissue. The word comes from the Greek allazein, (αλλάζειν) which means to change.
The Society for Ecological Restoration defines restoration as "the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed." [1] Restoration ecology is the academic study of the science of restoration, whereas ecological restoration is the implementation by practitioners. [21]
A blastema (Greek βλάστημα, "offspring" [1]) is a mass of cells capable of growth and regeneration into organs or body parts. The changing definition of the word "blastema" has been reviewed by Holland (2021). [2] A broad survey of how blastema has been used over time brings to light a somewhat involved history.
