How does a predator prey balance have anything to do with the ability to regrow cartilage?

I'd imagine cartilage growing out of control, which possibly could be very hurtful (imagine the band washers in the spine, e.g.) and very risky / deadly to the whole individual organism.

I'm thinking about a predator prey balance INSIDE the the body as a whole system.
