Cellular memory is the unproven hypothesis that such things as memories, habits, interests, and tastes may somehow be stored in all the cells of human bodies, i.e. not only in the brain. The suggestion arose following a number of organ transplants in which the recipient was reported to have developed the memories and interests of the donor.

An article, "Changes in Heart Transplant Recipients That Parallel the Personalities of Their Donors", published in the Spring 2002 issue of the Journal of Near-Death Studies without peer review, sources or evidence, reported anecdotes in which recipients "inherited" a love for classical music, a change of sexual orientation, changes in diet and vocabulary, and in one case an identification of the donor's murderer.

The academic organ transplant community rejects this notion as pseudoscientific and absurd, as it has never been demonstrated in a scientific manner. There is also the fear that such notions may hinder organ donation.

Alloplant is an experimental, chemically processed biomaterial used for transplantation. It is subjected to radiating sterilization and is being studied for possible regeneration of tissues of the recipient.

The primary advocate for alloplants is Russian surgeon Ernest Muldashev. In 2000, he claimed to have successfully transplanted a human eye into a blind woman using a harvested cornea and retina combined with an alloplant. The claim was widely rejected by the scientific and medical community. Although they avoid the use of the term "quack", doctors interviewed by The Guardian maintain that such transplants are medically impossible and not supported by peer-reviewed medical evidence.[1]

Ernest Muldaşev Rifqat ulı (born 1948) is a Russian doctor, Tibet explorer, from city of Ufa. Some of his controversial publishings were inspirited by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. He is associated with alloplants which he claimed to have successfully used in combination with harvested tissue to restore partial sight to a blind Ukrainian woman.
