Macromolecular regeneration

Macromolecular regeneration was a medical procedure in use by the time of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 20 BBY,The New Essential Chronology dates the events of MedStar I: Battle Surgeons to 20 BBY. the Republic's Major N'do Maetrecis fell ill with an unknown disease contracted from the planet Drongar's swamps after receiving a heart transplant from Republic Mobile Surgical Unit staff. Medical personnel attempted macromolecular regeneration and other techniques to cure him, though each ultimately failed and the man's condition worsened. Maetrecis ultimately only recovered after Doctor Zan Yant began treating him with illegal dosages of the healing plant bota, which the surgeon Jos Vondar scolded his colleague for.
==Behind the scenes==
Macromolecular regeneration was mentioned in the 2004 novel MedStar I: Battle Surgeons, which was written by by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry as the first installment of the MedStar Duology. In the real world, macromolecules are very large molecules—such as proteins or DNA—that are built from smaller chemical structures.
