  2. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Olefin metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_metathesis

    In organic chemistry, olefin metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of alkenes (olefins) by the scission and regeneration of carbon-carbon double bonds. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Because of the relative simplicity of olefin metathesis, it often creates fewer undesired by-products and hazardous wastes than alternative ...

  4. Free-radical theory of aging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_theory_of_aging

    The free radical theory of aging states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. [1] A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. [2] While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically relevant free radicals are highly ...

  5. Regenerative medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_medicine

    Examples include the injection of stem cells or progenitor cells obtained through directed differentiation (cell therapies); the induction of regeneration by biologically active molecules administered alone or as a secretion by infused cells (immunomodulation therapy); and transplantation of in vitro grown organs and tissues (tissue engineering).

  6. Hydrochloric acid regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid_regeneration

    The commercially most relevant field of application for HCl regeneration processes is the recovery of HCl from waste pickle liquors from carbon-steel pickling lines. Other applications include the production of metal oxides such as, but not limited, to Al 2 O 3 and MgO, as well as rare-earth oxides, by pyrohydrolysis of aqueous metal chloride or rare-earth chloride solutions.

  7. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

    Guillain–Barré syndrome – nerve damage. Neuroregeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) occurs to a significant degree. [5] [6] After an injury to the axon, peripheral neurons activate a variety of signaling pathways which turn on pro-growth genes, leading to reformation of a functional growth cone and regeneration.

  8. Oil regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_regeneration

    Physical methods of regeneration do not change the chemical properties of oil. They remove only mechanical impurities (metal particles, sand, dust, as well as tar, asphalt and coke-like substances, water). Regeneration by physical methods include: sedimentation. This method is often used as the first stage in regeneration.

  9. Abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    The theory of classical irreversible thermodynamics treats self-assembly under a generalized chemical potential within the framework of dissipative systems. [ 151 ] [ 152 ] [ 153 ] The second law of thermodynamics requires that overall entropy increases, yet life is distinguished by its great degree of organization.
