skin regeneration
Wound closure process
Skin regeneration is the process by which skin repairs or replaces itself after injury.
Minor wounds heal through cell division and tissue formation, while more severe damage may require medical intervention.
Some animals like salamanders regenerate skin completely; humans form scar tissue instead.
Researchers are studying skin regeneration to improve burn treatment.
