The body is in a constant state of renewal, and from this point of view, there happens to be an incredibly complex process of cellular regeneration on a daily basis, whereby trillions of cells get replaced. This intricate biological process is guided by stem cells and genetic mechanisms that allow different parts of the body to renew at different speeds. Such continuous regeneration is vital for healing, sustaining function, and trying to adapt to new challenges. This is an area of active scientific investigation, so how the details of this incredible cellular process are just now being teased out, with implications for how to better understand human health and aging.
