The Innate Repair System

The human body possesses an innate repair system that is similar to the immune system, designed to respond to injury and facilitate healing. When an injury occurs, it triggers the release of stem cells from the bone marrow, which migrate to the affected area and differentiate into the needed cell types, thus enhancing the repair process. This natural repair mechanism has been largely overlooked in traditional medicine, which tends to focus on the immediate physical treatment rather than the biological response. Understanding this system can inform strategies for both recovery from injuries and promoting longevity by optimizing how our bodies utilize stem cells.
