Nature uses self-healing in all living systems to repair damage caused by environmental interactions. A simple case is repairing a skin wound – without this mechanism, we could not live. DNA repair, which must occur routinely in every living organism, is another example. But at what level do repairing mechanisms occur?

Nature uses self-healing in all living systems to repair damage caused by environmental interactions. A simple case is repairing a skin wound – without this mechanism, we could not live. DNA repair, which must occur routinely in every living organism, is another example. But at what level do repairing mechanisms occur?
