How Does the Neonatal Immune System Impact Transplantation?
The neonatal immune system is not fully mature, which can have both advantages and disadvantages in the context of transplantation. On one hand, an immature immune system may be less likely to mount a strong rejection response against the transplanted organ. On the other hand, the same immaturity can make neonates more susceptible to infections and complications from immunosuppressive therapy.
