Medical Definition:
Guide Notes:	IM; coord IM with organ /physiol (IM), not /growth; available also are BONE REGENERATION; LIVER REGENERATION & NERVE REGENERATION

Regeneration Categories.

	Bone Remodeling - The continuous turnover of bone matrix and mineral that involves first, an increase in resorption (osteoclastic activity) and later, reactive bone formation (osteoblastic activity). The process of bone remodeling takes place in the adult skeleton at discrete foci. The process ensures the mechanical integrity of the skeleton throughout life and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. An imbalance in the regulation of bone remodeling's two contrasting events, bone resorption and bone formation, results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as OSTEOPOROSIS.
	Liver Regeneration - Repair or renewal of hepatic tissue.
	Nerve Regeneration - Renewal or physiological repair of damaged nerve tissue.
	Wound Healing - Restoration of integrity to traumatized tissue.
