This structure is actually a highly vascularized extension of the cloaca which allows internal fertilization. |
In terms of the biology of the tissue, more vascularized organs, xenografts, and non-pretreated fresh grafts all lead to a severe host response. |
In tarpons the swim bladder is lunglike, partially compartmented and highly vascularized. |
Many authors have reported good results with the use of vascularized fibular grafts to treat large osteonecrotic lesions of the femoral head. |
Cells potentially maybe less of a problem then vascularized organs, but that is not in any way proven at this point. |
Transplantation of solid, vascularized organs is still premature and requires significant pre-clinical research before clinical trials proceed. |
