- The process of transplanting organs, cells or tissues from animals into humans.
- The transplantation of organs or the grafting of genetic material (xenografts) from animals to human beings. Donor animals will be genetically engineered to avoid rejection.
- The use of animals other than human beings as sources for organ transplants.
- Implantation of living cells, tissues, or solid organs from one species into another, used when human donors are unavailable or when a temporary or "bridge" organ is needed; a controversial practice given concerns about potential viral transmission and strong immuological reactions.
