589CELL REGENERATION & REPAIR- THE FUTURE IS HERE….!The body’s ability to replace injured or dead cells and to heal tissues after inflammation is critical to survival. The host responds to injury by setting in motion a series of events that serve to eliminate these agents contain the damage, and prepare the surviving cells for replication. The healing of tissue damage can be by regeneration or repair. Regeneration is replacement of lost cells by cells of the same type and which can sometimes return the tissues to its pristine state. Repair is usually a tissue response to a wound (commonly in the skin), to inflammatory processes in internal organs or to cell necrosis in organs incapable of regeneration. Healing consists of variable proportions of two distinct processes – regeneration and fibrous tissues or scar formation. Regeneration requires an intact connective tissue scaffold. Repair with scar formation occurs if extra cellular matrix framework is damaged, result in altered tissue architecture.
