xenograft
A xenograft is a transplantation of tissues or organs from one species to another. It is often used in research to study diseases, test new treatments, or as a potential solution to organ shortages in human medicine. This type of graft is typically more complex and potentially more risky than transplants within the same species (allografts), due to potential issues such as immune rejection.
