	Grafting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grafting is a method of plant propagation widely used in horticulture, where the tissues of one plant are encouraged to fuse with those of another.
		In stem grafting, a common grafting method, a shoot of a selected, desired plant cultivar is grafted onto the stock of another type.
		In this case a bridge graft may be used to connect the tissues receiving flow from the roots to the tissues above the damage which have been severed from the flow.

	The Process of Medical Discovery
		Consequently, medical historians generally present the animal experimenter as the discoverer and relegate the actual discoverer -- the clinician -- to anonymity or lesser importance.
		Although Oliver's hypothesis--derived from human investigations--provided the rationale for the experiments on dogs, medical historians have generally credited Schafer with the role of pioneer endocrinologist, highlighting the animal experiments and minimizing the contribution of the observations of humans that preceded them.
		Routinely, medical discoveries derived from observation of clinicopathologic anomalies are attributed to laboratory experimentation.

	Hair Grafting -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In horticulture, a graft is where the tissues of one plant are affixed to the tissues of another; the process is called grafting.
		The grafting serves two purposes: it can reduce the course of treatment needed (and time in the hospital), and it can improve the function and appearance of the area of the body which receives the skin graft.
		When a large area must be grafted, excess skin for autografts may be produced by successive tissue expansion procedures, whereby a saline solution is gradually injected subdermally and the boil so formed is left until the skin grows in order to adapt elastically to the expansion.

	Skin grafting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skin grafting is a type of medical grafting involving the transplantation of skin.
		The graft is initially nourished by a process called plasmatic imbibition in which the graft literally "drinks plasma." New blood vessels begin growing from the recipient area into the transplanted skin within 36 hours in a process called capillary inosculation.
		To prevent the accumulation of fluid under the graft which can prevent its attachment and revascularization, the graft is frequently meshed by making lengthwise rows of short, interrupted cuts, each a few millimeters long, with each row offset by half a cut length (like bricks in a wall).
