Musculoskeletal Regeneration

Meaning

Musculoskeletal regeneration is the complex biological process of repairing or replacing damaged tissues within the body’s support and movement systems, specifically bone, skeletal muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. This essential physiological function involves the coordinated action of stem cells, growth factors, and hormones to restore tissue structure and functional capacity following injury or age-related atrophy. In hormonal health, this term highlights the potent anabolic and restorative effects of key endocrine signals, such as testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Successful regeneration is paramount for maintaining physical strength, mobility, and independence throughout the lifespan.
