Tissue transplantation as a compensation for deleterious effects of ageing, radiation, diabetes, and craniocerebral trauma.
The presence of blood-brain and blood-ocular barriers allows the transplantation of various biological tissues into the brain and the anterior eye chamber without acute immune rejection. Tissue grafting into the immuno-privileged areas (brain, anterior eye chamber) allows its long-term functioning without immuno-suppression. This method was shown to be effective in compensating for the deleterious effects of ageing, radiation, diabetes, and craniocerebral trauma.
