The Concept of Tissue Regeneration: Epistemological and Historical Enquiry from Early Ideas on the Regeneration of Bone to the Microscopic Observations of the Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves

The paper explored the historical and epistemological development of tissue regeneration theories, from ancient times to modern molecular biology, with a focus on peripheral nerve regeneration. It highlighted the evolution of ideas within diverse local contexts and the gradual integration into cell theory and molecular biology. The study concluded that the history of tissue regeneration was ongoing, necessitating new experiments and perspectives, alongside a thorough examination of its historical roots, to enhance understanding and medical application of nervous regeneration.
