In One Glance

Regeneration is the ability to regrow lost or damaged body parts. In certain animals, injury triggers signals that activate cells to divide and rebuild tissues. The new tissue organizes into structures like skin, muscle, and bone in a controlled way. Different species regenerate different amounts; humans heal well but don’t regrow limbs. The story frames regeneration as calm biological repair and emphasizes wonder and healing.
