    GlossaryAllografts (Allogenic transplants)

    tissue transplants between genetically different members of the same species

    Allografts, also known as allogeneic grafts, refer to tissue transplants between genetically non-identical members of the same species. This type of graft is commonly used in medical procedures such as organ transplants, skin grafts, and bone marrow transplants. While allografts can be life-saving, they often require immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the recipient's immune system from rejecting the foreign tissue.
