Abstract

THE spontaneous repair of induced injuries has long been recognised as one of the more spectacular activities of living organisms. Probably all animals and all living cells can effect the repair of localised and superficial damage, but only in some cases can the replacement of lost parts take place on a large scale. Numerous attempts have been made to correlate this regenerative power with other physiological properties or with phylogenetic history. These attempts have met with little success, and too often the facts have thereby been concealed in a mist of uncritical theory or buried beneath an unwieldy terminology.
