regenerations
Tissues healing themselves
Regenerations is the plural of regeneration—the process of renewing, restoring, or regrowing something.
Biological regeneration allows some organisms to regrow lost limbs or tissue: The starfish's regenerations were remarkable.
Urban regeneration revitalizes declining areas.
In *Doctor Who*, regenerations are the transformations through which the Doctor assumes a new body, famously limited to thirteen.
