  • Blastema formation is due to the accumulation of de-differentiated cells under the epithelial covering of the wound. As more and more cells aggregate below the epidermis, it becomes pushed out and a conical projection appears. This bud like region consisting of an outer cap of the epidermis and central core of de-differentiated cells is called blastema or regeneration bud.
