Homostatic graft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adjective homostatic has been used to refer to homografts which are inert when transplanted into the recipient.(W. P. Longmire, J. National Cancer Institute 14, 669: The term homostatic graft might be applied to inert tissues such as bone and cartilage when transferred from one individual to another of the same species; and the term homovital graft might be used in reference to grafts whose cells must continue to grow and reproduce for the graft to be effective after similar transplantation; H. Conway, The Bulletin of the Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association 13, 43: ''These grafts persist however as homostatic grafts and are completely replaced by host tissues in time.)
