Immuno-suppressants are usually used to overcome the immune-rejection caused due to the immune system’s attack on the foreign tissue used in transplantation. Correct Answer True

In the case of transplantation of a tissue received from a donor into the patient’s body, there are high chances of graft-rejection thus causing degradation of the graft tissue. This calls for the use of immune-suppressants to shut down the immune system to some extent. This is not the case with regenerative medicine because the cells used for treatment are mostly autologous cells.
