neogenesis
Tissue forming anew
Neogenesis is the formation or regeneration of new tissue, cells, or structures in biology.
The term appears in medical and scientific contexts describing processes like tissue repair or tumor development: The study examined neogenesis of blood vessels in healing wounds.
More broadly, it can mean any new formation or origination.
