And apparently the Thompson Twins weren't actually twins. I often worried, what with there being 3 of them, and particularly when 2 of them got married.

I bow to your painful experience..the pancreas can regenerate, particularly in the exocrine portion. However, the extent of regeneration depends on factors like age and the specific part of the pancreas affected. So you are correct in that it cannot fully heal

isnt the liver similar in that ony construction cells are regenerated and not the actual liver function cells?

I learned that false teeth in the 1800,s where made from teeth of the dead from Waterloo.
Bit of 1800’s recycling for you.

Even worse...the bones of the Waterloo dead are missing.
The dead of all three armies, (yes there were Prussians )were hastily buried in mass graves or where they fell.
Excavations have not found the thousands of skeletons that should be there.
Apparently the bones were dug, up and ground up to be used as part of the sugar refining process by local sugar mills.

i seem to remember that because my workmate got told that by a doctor whilst in his mid 20's!!!
so he stopped drinking. but took up marching powder only to realise that was just as bad for the liver.
nowadays he doesnt do anything at all and is extremely happy with his lot. love to know his secret

The liver regenerates more effectively than any other organ, it can be permanently damaged by a chronic liver disease, but can fully regenerate after pretty much anything else (even if you have part of it removed, it can grow back).
