  2. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    The vas deferens can grow back together after a vasectomy–thus resulting in vasectomy failure. [40] This occurs due to the fact that the epithelium of the vas deferens, similar to the epithelium of some other human body parts, is capable of regenerating and creating a new tube in the event that the vas deferens is damaged and/or severed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    It is necessary for a network of blood vessels to be established as soon as possible to provide the growing tissue with nutrients, to take away cellular wastes, and transport new leukocytes to the area. Fibroblasts, the main cells that deposit granulation tissue, depend on oxygen to proliferate and lay down the new extracellular matrix. [7]

    Replantation or reattachment is defined as the surgical reattachment of a body part (such as a finger, hand, or toe) that has been completely cut from the body.

    Thus, in humans, the nail of the index finger grows faster than that of the little finger; and fingernails grow up to four times faster than toenails. [10] In humans, fingernails grow at an average rate of approx. 3.5 mm (0.14 in) a month, whereas toenails grow about half as fast (approx. average 1.6 mm (0.063 in) a month). [11]

  6. Skin repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_repair

    Blood vessels soon grow into the dermis, restoring circulation. If the injury is very minor, the epithelial cells eventually restore the epidermis once the dermis has been regenerated. In major injuries, the repair mechanisms are unable to restore the skin to its original condition.

  8. Tissue expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_expansion

    Skin expansion is a common surgical procedure to grow extra skin through controlled mechanical overstretch. It creates skin that matches the color, texture, and thickness of the surrounding tissue, while minimizing scars and risk of rejection. [1] When skin is stretched beyond its physiological limit, mechanotransduction pathways
