allotransplantation

Allotransplantation is a medical procedure where an organ, tissue, or cells are transplanted from one individual to another of the same species, typically between unrelated individuals. This is commonly done with organs like kidneys or hearts, and it helps replace damaged or failing body parts. The main challenge of allotransplantation is preventing the recipient's immune system from rejecting the new tissue, which is why patients must take immunosuppressive medications. Successful allotransplantation can significantly improve the recipient's quality of life and prolong survival.
