Did you mean Regenerative Capacity?

GlossaryRegenerative Capacity

ability to repair or regrow damaged cells and tissues

Regenerative capacity refers to the ability of an organism or tissue to repair or replace damaged cells and tissues. In the context of hair, it involves the hair follicles' ability to regrow hair after it has been lost due to injury, disease, or other factors. This capacity varies among different tissues and organisms, with some having a high regenerative potential, like liver tissue, while others, like certain types of nerve cells, have limited ability to regenerate.
