Regeneración is used in biology (regeneración celular = cellular regeneration), ecology (regeneración forestal = forest regeneration), and figuratively for social or moral renewal (regeneración democrática). The verb is regenerar; the adjective is regenerador/a. The plural regeneraciones drops the written accent as stress becomes naturally penultimate.
