cell regeneration
Body repairing itself
Cell regeneration is the biological process by which organisms replace or restore damaged, aging, or dead cells.
Some tissues regenerate continuously—skin and blood cells replace themselves throughout life—while others regenerate only under specific conditions.
The liver has remarkable cell regeneration capacity.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing wound healing and in marketing claims for skincare products.
