Regeneration in humans 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, which involves closing up the injury site with a scar. Some tissues such as skin and large organs including the liver regrow quite readily, while others have been thought to have little or no capacity for regeneration. 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
Cold and heat adaptations in humans air temperature from reaching the skin. There has been very little research done in the genetics behind adaptations to heat and cold stress. Data suggests that certain parts of the human genome have only been selected for recently. Research on gene-culture interaction has been successful in linking agriculture and lactose tolerance. However, most evidence of links between culture and selection has not been proven. Cold and heat adaptations in humans Cold and heat adaptations in humans are a part of the broad adaptability of "Homo sapiens". Adaptations in humans can be physiological, genetic, or cultural, which allow people to live
