Top Open Access Journals In Tissue Transplantation

Organ transplantation may be a procedure during which an organ is faraway from one body and placed within the body of a recipient, to exchange a damaged or missing organ. The donor and recipient could also be at an equivalent location, or organs could also be transported from a donor site to a different location. Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within an equivalent person's body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of an equivalent species are called allografts. Allografts can either be from a living or cadaveric source.

Organs that are successfully transplanted include the guts , kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, thymus and uterus. Tissues include bones, tendons (both mentioned as musculoskeletal grafts), corneae, skin, heart valves, nerves and veins. Worldwide, the kidneys are the foremost commonly transplanted organs, followed by the liver then the guts . Corneae and musculoskeletal grafts are the foremost commonly transplanted tissues; these outnumber organ transplants by quite tenfold.

Organ donors could also be living, dead , or dead via circulatory death. Tissue could also be recovered from donors who die of circulatory death, also as of cerebral death – up to 24 hours past the cessation of heartbeat. Unlike organs, most tissues (with the exception of corneas) are often preserved and stored for up to 5 years, meaning they will be "banked".
