Tissue regeneration & repair

Tissue regeneration involves the restoration of tissue components by regrowth of damaged tissues. In contrast, tissue repair involves patching of injured tissue rather than restoring it.

Both regeneration and repair depending on the duration of the injury and response to the inflammation.
