Usage Note

Rigenerazione is a feminine noun used in biology (rigenerazione cellulare), urban planning (rigenerazione urbana), and spiritual contexts (rigenerazione spirituale). The plural rigenerazioni is regular. It implies a full renewal rather than simple repair, so choose it over rinnovamento when the idea of rebirth is central.

Examples

"La rigenerazione dei tessuti richiede tempo."

Natural Translation

The regeneration of tissue takes time.
