“Once inside the recipient, the donated organ will be under constant attack from the recipient’s immune system, which will prematurely age the organ. Because of this, transplant recipients take immunosuppressive drugs to reduce the amount of damage their own immune system will do to the new organ. It’s a balancing act between suppressing the immune system enough to stave off rejection of the new organ (which is almost always inevitable) and having enough of an immune system to fight off basic infections. This is why it can be difficult to find a match when looking for an organ. The closer the new organ is to the recipients own genetic markers the better.”

And it can help to call certain bugs that feed on the bugs that feed on the grass. Some grasses will also release certain chemicals that make their leaves taste awful to bugs. Some grasses can also concentrate nutrients into their roots to better rebuild.” —u/cardboard-cutout
