transplant biology

Transplant biology studies how organs, tissues, or cells are transferred from one body to another. It involves understanding how the immune system might recognize the transplanted material as foreign and potentially attack it, and how to prevent that with medical techniques like immunosuppressants. Researchers also investigate compatibility between donor and recipient, factors affecting transplant success, and ways to improve long-term function of the transplanted tissue. Overall, it aims to successfully replace or repair damaged parts of the body, saving lives and improving quality of life.
