Abstract in brief

Wound repair in humans is a complex process that often results in scarring, while early fetal tissue can regenerate without fibrosis.
Some organisms can continuously regenerate tissue throughout their lives, which provides insights into potential regenerative therapies for humans.
Studying these organisms could lead to breakthroughs in medicine by unlocking hidden regenerative abilities in human tissues, similar to how antibiotics revolutionized healthcare.

Wound repair and regeneration are hallmark features of living systems and occur at tissue, organ, and cellular levels. The processes involved are often physical and mechanical in nature, such as wound closure, material repositioning, tissue fluidity, and symmetry restoration.
