Bone fracture healing is also, exactly, regeneration. Regeneration of fingertips in small children is almost universal, provided you don't stitch it up.
George Becker's book "The Body Electric" is the most complete exploration of regeneration I have encountered to date. Becker's suspicion was that we gave up general regeneration in exchange for cancer resistance.
Came to mention this book - the author is Robert O. Becker and it was published in 1985. Mike Levin (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) was greatly influenced by this book.

Updates welcome! TBE deserves follow-up.
