What is the organized sequence in which changes occur during regeneration, and what is it referred to as?

The organized sequence of changes during regeneration is referred to as the “regenerative process” or “regeneration cascade.” This sequence typically involves three main phases: dedifferentiation, proliferation, and redifferentiation. In the dedifferentiation phase, specialized cells revert to a less specialized state, becoming more plastic. Subsequently, there is a proliferation of these dedifferentiated cells, leading to an increase in cell numbers. Finally, in the redifferentiation phase, the cells differentiate into various cell types necessary for reconstructing the lost or damaged tissues. This sequential and coordinated series of events ensures the successful restoration of form and function during the regenerative process.
