This is in contrast to wound healing, which involves closing up the injury site with a scar.

However ongoing research, particularly in the heart and lungs, suggests that there is hope for a variety of tissues and organs to eventually become regeneration-capable. In humans with non-injured tissues, the tissue is naturally regenerated over time; by
