GlossaryGraft Rejection

immune system attacks transplanted tissue, recognizing it as foreign

Graft rejection is a process where the immune system of a recipient attacks and destroys a transplanted tissue or organ, recognizing it as foreign. This can occur in hair transplants if the body's immune response targets the transplanted hair follicles, leading to the failure of the graft.
