Local problems need global solutions: The metabolic needs of regenerating organisms

The vast majority of species that belong to the plant or animal kingdom evolved with two main strategies to counter tissue damage—scar formation and regeneration. Whereas scar formation provides a fast and cost-effective repair to exit life-threatening conditions, complete tissue regeneration is time-consuming and requires vast resources to reinstall functionality of affected organs or structures. Local environments in wound healing are widely studied and findings have provided important biomedical applications. Less well understood are organismic physiological parameters and signalling circuits essential to maintain effective tissue repair. Here, we review accumulated evidence that positions the interplay of local and systemic changes in metabolism as essential variables modulating the injury response. We particularly emphasise the role of lipids and lipid-like molecules as significant components long overlooked.
