regenerative biology

Regenerative biology studies how organisms repair, replace, or grow new tissues, organs, or even entire body parts. It explores the natural processes and mechanisms that enable some species, like salamanders or starfish, to regenerate limbs or tissues, and aims to understand how to apply this knowledge to human health. Advances in this field could lead to innovative treatments for wounds, degenerative diseases, and injuries by promoting the body's ability to heal itself more effectively through cellular growth, stem cells, and tissue engineering.
