[On polysemy of term "regeneration". Dedicated to memory of Grigoriĭ Ivanovich Voronin]
Abstract:
Comparison of the meaning contents of regeneration processes in different branches of engineering and industry, and space biology and medicine brings to the conclusion that polysemy of term "regeneration" causes certain terminology difficulties in communication of members of various professional communities. To avoid ambiguity in each specific case, term "regeneration" is proposed to be accompanied by a minimum of appropriate explicative words. In the context of growing concern about the global ecological trouble, the biological regeneration processes developed for support of human life in space vehicles have much promise for designing bio-regeneration technologies to be used in preservation of environment, and industrial biosynthesis.
