Abstract
The development of an organism occurs in many ways. These include embryogenesis, compensatory growth, wound healing, and epimorphic regeneration. Some would classify cancer and aging as developmental processes as well. Each of these phenomena may be achieved by a variety of mechanisms, including mitosis, hypertrophy, migration, and differentiation at the cellular level of organization and the synthesis of chemical compounds at the molecular level. Atrophy, dedifferentiation, and molecular degradation are also important components of developmental processes. Even the demise of cells and tissues may be actively programmed into the scenario of development. Thus, the turnover of living material is a fundamental attribute of life. As such, it is as ubiquitous as life itself. Embryogenesis is also universal, at least among metazoan animals. Compensatory growth and wound healing are likewise common properties of virtually all cells, tissues, and organs, albeit to varying degrees of expression.
