  2. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    The regeneration of organs is a common and widespread adaptive capability among metazoan creatures. [12] In a related context, some animals are able to reproduce asexually through fragmentation, budding, or fission. [9]

  3. Epimorphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimorphosis

    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]

  4. Morphallaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphallaxis

    The four types of regeneration are epimorphosis, stem cell mediated regeneration, morphallaxis, and compensatory regeneration (compensatory hyperplasia). Epimorphosis occurs when other adult cells in a damaged tissue undergo dedifferentiation and then divide to form an undifferentiated mass of tissue, this new mass encompasses the mass of ...

  5. Autotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotomy

    Autotomy (from the Greek auto-, "self-" and tome, "severing", αὐτοτομία) or 'self-amputation', is the behaviour whereby an animal sheds or discards an appendage, [1] usually as a self-defense mechanism to elude a predator's grasp or to distract the predator and thereby allow escape. Some animals are able to regenerate the

  6. Starfish regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_regeneration

    Starfish regeneration across species follows a common three-phase model and can take up to a year or longer to complete. [2] Though regeneration is used to recover limbs eaten or removed by predators, starfish are also capable of autotomizing and regenerating limbs to evade predators and reproduce. [2]

    Some of the animals discovered include the lightweight shrew mole, weighing less than 8 grams, and the ‘vampire’ hedgehog, named for its long fangs. Most new species discoveries were plants ...

  9. Biological immortality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality

    All cnidarians can regenerate, allowing them to recover from injury and to reproduce asexually. Hydras are simple, freshwater animals possessing radial symmetry and contain post-mitotic cells (cells that will never divide again) only in the extremities. [14] All hydra cells continually divide.
