retrogenesis
Retrogenesis is a term used in biology to describe the process by which an organism appears to develop in reverse, exhibiting traits of earlier developmental stages. It is not a true reversal of the genetic program but rather a phenomenon where certain biological processes can mimic regression. This can occur in various contexts, such as in aging organisms or in specific cellular processes.
One area where retrogenesis is discussed is in relation to aging. As organisms age, they can exhibit
Another context is in certain developmental anomalies or experimental manipulations. In some cases, cells or tissues
The concept of retrogenesis is complex and debated. It is important to distinguish between true developmental
