Rejection in human organ transplantation (Chapter two: Battle against foreign substances)



This is the second chapter of the trilogy that focuses on the rejection in human organ transplantation. The scope of this chapter encompasses the role of the immune system to fight foreign substances, the main reason why allogeneic transplanted tissues or organs are rejected. There was an effort to chain knowledge and make technical content more accessible. There is more to it than meets the eye. Press the "pause" button, turn back and play again as long as you need. 


Rejection in human organ transplantation (Chapter one: Self or Non-Self)

This is an initiative of our facebook group - Independent Biomedical Researchers - that aims to provide knowledge and information about the rejection of organ transplants in humans. To achieve this we used the innovative "e-learning approach" in order to make the learning process more enjoyable, motivating and easy to access.

Welcome to Biomedeeks !

Hi everyone and welcome to our new blog!
The idea of creating this dynamic page arose from the need to explore topics of interest in the Biomedical Engineering field. We really want to encourage the share of information, the exchange of ideas and promote the enrichment of knowledge! 

As you surely may have seen, we will have diverse topics of discussion and contents, divided by the main areas of intervention: Medical Devices, Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Biomechanics and Rehabilitation, IT and e-Health. 

This blog is directed to all of you who, like us, need to constantly apprehend new knowledge and information about Biomedical Engineering. Progress is made each day and certainly no one wants to be left behind. 

Fell free to join us and share/comment our posts! You can also contact us if you have some doubts or suggestions. We count on you to continuously improve and grow! Together, we will make Biomedical Engineering move forward! 

Thank you!
