Tissue regeneration & repair

Tissue regeneration involves the restoration of tissue components by regrowth of damaged tissues. In contrast, tissue repair involves patching of injured tissue rather than restoring it. It is the proliferative capacity of the cells that decides the amount of regeneration against the repair that would occur in the tissue. Both regeneration and repair depending on the duration of the injury and response to the inflammation.

Question

Three patients in an intensive care unit have sustained damage and widespread tissue death in three different organs. One patient has brain damage from a stroke, another had a heart attack that destroyed cardiac muscle, and the third injured much of her liver (a gland) in a crushing car accident. All three patients have stabilized and will survive, but only one will gain full functional recovery through tissue regeneration. Which one, and why?
