WHAT DOES HOMOGRAFT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Allotransplantation

Allotransplantation is the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs, to a recipient from a genetically non-identical donor of the same species. The transplant is called an allograft, allogeneic transplant, or homograft. Most human tissue and organ transplants are allografts. A xenograft is a graft from a different species, such as when animal tissue is grafted into human tissue, or when human cancer cells are implanted in mice for experimental tumor studies. It is not uncommon for patients and physicians to use the term "allograft" imprecisely to refer to either allograft or xenograft, but it is helpful scientifically to maintain the more precise distinction. Homografts may be called "homostatic" if they are biologically inert when transplanted, such as bone and cartilage. An immune response against an allograft or xenograft is termed rejection. An allogenic bone marrow transplant can result in an immune attack, called Graft-versus-host disease.

Definition of homograft in the English dictionary

The definition of homograft in the dictionary is a tissue graft obtained from an organism of the same species as the recipient.
