A number of life-threatening diseases, such as kidney failure, diabetes, and certain kinds of coronary heart disease, can be cured by organ transplantation. However, despite decades of research, graft rejection remains a very real threat to the organ transplant recipient. In attempting to develop methods that interfere with the graft rejection process, scientists have uncovered a remarkably complex system of cellular interactions that allows the total destruction of a transplanted organ while leaving the recipient's own organs untouched. This ability to distinguish self from non-self is achieved through intercellular communication involving cell-to-cell contact and the release of a number of …

Regeneration Studies By Transplantation Of Adrenal Tissue, Frank M. Noice
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The regeneration ability of the adrenal gland has been observed and recorded by several investigators; however, reports of the method of regeneration have been conflicting. This study was conducted to attempt to learn more of the method of adrenal gland regeneration through transplantation studies.
