REPAIR (salvage theory)

REPAIR, in salvage theory, refers to the body's natural process of identifying and fixing damaged tissues or cells. When an injury occurs, the body activates repair mechanisms, such as producing new cells or repairing DNA, to restore normal function. This process is essential for recovery and maintaining health after wear and tear, infection, or injury. It involves a coordinated response involving immune cells, signaling molecules, and cellular activities that work together to repair the damage efficiently, helping the body recover and stay resilient against future harm.
