==Mitosis and the foreskin==
Placing human tissue under tension causes the cells to sense the need for more tissue. The cells then start to divide and create more tissue identical to the original tissue. The additional tissue results in [[tissue expansion]], which is a recognized medical practice. Tissue may be placed under tension by applying traction, [[stretching ]] [[skin ]] manually, or by tugging with a device.
* Men who have a narrow tight [[foreskin]] or [[phimosis]] may stretch the narrow part of their foreskin laterally to cause mitosis, which results in a wider, retractable foreskin.
* Men who have been [[circumcision| circumcised]] may stretch their residual [[shaft skin ]] longitudinally to lengthen it until it takes the shape of a foreskin. * [[Intact ]] men who wish to have a longer foreskin may stretch their foreskin longitudinally to make it longer.
