Regeneration is the ability to replace lost or damaged body parts. ... This cnidarian can also regenerate its entire body from cells. The cells that do the job are totipotent stem cells residing in the animal's body.

All animals and plants are capable of regeneration to some extent but, as a general rule, the more highly evolved an animal is, the less are its powers of regeneration.

Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, an organism is said to regenerate a lost or damaged part if the part regrows so that the original function is restored. Regenerative capacity is inversely related to complexity: in gener...

Dr. Harber-Katz believes that living organisms had originally used both the immune system and regeneration for recovering from wounds. Yet the two methods proved to be incompatible during the evolution and regeneration was eventually deleted.

What about regeneration capabilities of a human being? There are only two kinds of cells that can regenerate – blood cells and liver cells. The principles of regeneration are different in this case. A small number of cells are unaffected by the process of specialization as the embryo of an mammal grows on.

All animals have the power of regeneration to a greater or lesser degree. In man and higher animals it is quite limited. We see it most often in the healing of wounds and the mending of bones. A lost fingernail can be replaced but not a lost finger.

Regeneration generally involves the formation of a wound epithelium after transection or injury, followed by the generation of regenerative progenitor cells and morphogenesis to give the regenerate. Common mechanisms may exist in relation to each of these aspects.
