Wikipedia Articles
- Organ xenotransplantation - Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs occurring between species. This includes body fluids, cells, tissues or organs that have had ex vivo contact with the live cells, tissues or organs of a different species (FDA, 2006).
- Xenotransplantation - Xenotransplantation (xeno- from the Greek meaning "foreign") is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans (see Medical grafting). Such cells, tissues or organs are called xenografts or xenotransplants.
- Animal testing on non-human primates - Non-human primates (NHPs) are used in toxicology tests, studies of neurology, behavior and cognition, reproduction, genetics, and xenotransplantation. They are caught in the wild, taken from zoos, circuses and animal trainers, or purpose-bred.
- Allotransplantation - Allotransplantation (allo- from the Greek meaning "other") is the transplantation of organs between members of the same species. Contrast with xenotransplantation and autotransplantation.
