tissue repair
Body fixes itself
Tissue repair is the biological process by which the body heals damaged cells and structures.
This includes wound healing, where skin closes after a cut, and internal regeneration of organs and muscles after injury or surgery.
The term appears in medical and biological contexts: The drug accelerates tissue repair.
Some tissues repair through regeneration (restoring original structure), others through scarring (replacing with fibrous tissue).
