  2. Epimorphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimorphosis

    The apical ectodermal ridge in embryonic development is very similar to the apical ectodermal cap in limb regeneration. The progress zone can be seen near to the zone of polarizing activity, which instructs cells on how to orient the limb. [8] In vertebrates, epimorphosis relies on blastema formation to proliferate cells into the new tissue.

  3. Hox genes in amphibians and reptiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_genes_in_amphibians...

    Hox genes play a massive role in some amphibians and reptiles in their ability to regenerate lost limbs, especially HoxA and HoxD genes. [1]If the processes involved in forming new tissue can be reverse-engineered into humans, it may be possible to heal injuries of the spinal cord or brain, repair damaged organs and reduce scarring and fibrosis after surgery.

  4. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    Regeneration in humans is the regrowth of lost tissues or organs in response to injury. This is in contrast to wound healing , or partial regeneration, which involves closing up the injury site with some gradation of scar tissue.

  5. Limb development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb_development

    Snakes are a particularly good example for studying limb loss, as they underwent limb loss and regeneration multiple times throughout their evolution before they finally lost their legs for good. Much of the gene expression during embryonic development is regulated via spatiotemporal and chemotactic signaling, [ 20 ] as depicted by the image to ...

    Sunflower sea star regenerates its arms. Dwarf yellow-headed gecko with regenerating tail. Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage.

    However, the game is differentiated by a physics engine which produces exaggerated character motions when moving or using weapons (including stretching limbs and exaggerated knockback when using guns), the ability to dual-wield weapons, a self-constructing wall functioning as the game's "storm," and a wide array of weapons directly pulled from ...

    Body integrity dysphoria (BID), also referred to as body integrity identity disorder (BIID), amputee identity disorder or xenomelia, and formerly called apotemnophilia, is a rare mental disorder characterized by a desire to have a sensory or physical disability or feeling discomfort with being able-bodied, beginning in early adolescence and resulting in harmful consequences.
