What is Limb Regeneration?
Limb regeneration refers to the process of regrowing lost limbs or digits, offering a potential alternative to current prosthetic solutions for individuals living with limb loss. While regeneration is already seen in certain species, such as salamanders and starfish, the field of regenerative medicine aims to translate
these biological processes into solutions for human patients. Regenerating entire limbs would represent a revolutionary advancement in medicine, enabling individuals to restore lost function, mobility, and sensation.
