Biological entities have some regeneration techniques, but that doesn't guarantee a mechanism exists for arbitrary damage to be repaired. For example I can heal a broken bone, but I can't heal a broken tooth.

Fresh cells can be generated at any time. The capacity to regenerate and repair can be lost but it's not intrinsically absent as the "wear and tear" metaphor suggests.
