Hastings Pier in East Sussex has been hailed as a leading example of regeneration by campaigners.
The annual regrowth of deer antlers is the only example of regeneration of a complete, anatomically complex appendage in a mammal, and antlers are therefore of high interest to regeneration biologists [1] [6].
Although examples of tissue regeneration are rare among birds and mammals, tissue regeneration occurs in amphioxus, the most basal living chordate [ 2].
Barcelona, Glasgow, Newcastle and Bilbao are triumphant examples of urban regeneration, beacons of success that Europe's Capital of Culture programme has tried to translate to less fortunate places, such as Salonika, Cork and Liverpool.
In this review, we analyze past and contemporary accounts of wound healing in a variety of vertebrates, namely, fish, amphibians, and mammals, in order to demonstrate how examples of skin regeneration in adult organisms can impact traditional wound-healing research.
Regrowth of amputated limbs of salamanders represents a unique example of tissue regeneration because there is regeneration of different types of tissues in the correct orientation.
And deer regrow antlers, but "the regeneration of a large portion of lost skin is certainly a remarkable and surprising example of mammalian regeneration," says Shannon Odelberg, a molecular biologist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
One example of tissue regeneration is in bone marrow transplants, where blood-forming stem cells regenerate the blood of transplant recipients who receive otherwise lethal doses of chemotherapy to destroy all the cancer cells in the body.
Still another example of mammalian regeneration occurs in the case of the rabbit's ear.
