  2. Allotransplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotransplantation

    Allotransplant (allo-meaning "other" in Greek) is the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs to a recipient from a genetically non-identical donor of the same species. [1] The transplant is called an allograft, allogeneic transplant, or homograft. Most human tissue and organ transplants are allografts.

  3. Nerve allograft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_allograft

    An allograft contains many of the beneficial characteristics of nerve autograft, such as three-dimensional microstructural scaffolding and protein components inherent to nerve tissue. [3] One of the adverse effects of nerve allotransplantation is the immunogenic response.

  4. Tissue transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_transplantation

    [2] The practice of tissue transplantation dates back to 1600 BC and has undergone vast advancements since then. The four main types of tissue transplantation are xenotransplantation, allotransplantation, isotransplantation and autotransplantation, while the common tissues transplanted include skin, bone, corneal and vessel grafts.

  5. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    Allograft offers the best regeneration quality but has lower volume stability. Often a mix of different kinds of bone grafts is used. [citation needed] In general, bone graft is either used en bloc (such as from the chin or the ascending ramus area of the lower jaw) or particulated, in order to be able to adapt it better to a defect.

  6. Autotransplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransplantation

    In orthopaedic medicine, a bone graft can be sourced from a patient's own bone in order to fill space and produce an osteogenic response in a bone defect. However, due to the donor-site morbidity associated with autograft, other methods such as bone allograft and bone morphogenetic proteins and synthetic graft materials are often used as alternatives.

  7. Liver transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_transplantation

    Liver transplantation is a potential treatment for acute or chronic conditions which cause irreversible and severe ("end-stage") liver dysfunction. [4] Since the procedure carries relatively high risks, is resource-intensive, and requires major life modifications after surgery, it is reserved for dire circumstances.

  9. Transplant engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transplant_Engineering

    Transplant engineering (or allograft engineering) is a variant of genetic organ engineering which comprises allograft, autograft and xenograft engineering. In allograft engineering the graft is substantially modified by altering its genetic composition. The genetic modification can be permanent or transient.
