How the human body replaces itself over time and why it doesn’t always succeed
SMRTR summary
The human body constantly renews itself, with cells in various organs regenerating at different rates. Red blood cells replenish every 120 days, skin regenerates monthly, and even bones renew over a decade. However, factors like age, genetics, and lifestyle affect regeneration capacity, leading to chronic diseases when damage outpaces repair. Scientists are developing new technologies to monitor and enhance the body's self-repair mechanisms.
