I don't know about people in biology in general, but it seems a whole new space of considerations.. topological communication, spread of information.. and if people are curious about other aspects of this, google peter reddien, he had a lab who focused on planaria regeneration too, and by playing with location and numbers of cuts they triggered some cascading patterns of regeneration (think https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:iso_paper_size_golden_spiral.png https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:iso_paper_si... but with biological tissue and organs)
