The Transplantation Society Reiterates Position At International Congress Against Selling Organs
The practice of buying and selling human organs is of particular concern to The Transplantation Society, the field's only international society, with more than 3,000 members from 65 countries, including those where black markets for organs from living donors appear to be on the rise. As such, the society today reiterated its position against the... view more... (2002-08-20)
University Computer Cluster To Help Heart Health And Cancer Patients
A new computer cluster funded by the University of Sheffield and located within the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, will help scientists to improve their understanding of how human cells and organs work. This will ultimately lead to more effective ways of treating cardiovascular disease and cancer as well as other diseases. It will also eventually... view more... (2004-06-17)
A gene that protects from kidney disease
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University of Michigan have discovered a gene that protects us against a serious kidney disease. view more (2007-07-09)
Press background - International Congress of the Transplantation Society August 25-30 a Forum for Cutting-Edge Research Findings
New findings in clinical and basic science transplantation research will be presented for the first time at the XIX International Congress of The Transplantation Society August 25 - 30, among them results of a study that treated diabetic children with a combination of cells from a pig's pancreas and testes, and findings from three separate studies... view more...

World first for Swedish researchers - mice born from transplanted wombs
Swedish scientists and doctors have transplanted uteri from one set of mice to another and produced normal healthy babies from the transplanted wombs. This is the first time that live births have been achieved from transplanted uteri in any species. It proves that transplanted uteri can harbour pregnancies and provides hope that successful womb... view more... (2003-06-28)
Discovery of good -- and bad -- liver stem cells raises possibility of new treatment
Many scientists believe up to 40 percent of liver cancer is caused by stem cells gone wild - master cells in the organ that have lost all growth control. But, despite years spent looking, no one has ever found these liver "cancer stem cells" - or even normal stem cells in the organ. Until now. view more (2008-02-11)
Scientists discover new virus caused deaths of transplant recipients from single donor
Scientists in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and colleagues in the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory in Melbourne, Australia and 454 Life Sciences have discovered a new virus that was responsible for the deaths of three transplant recipients who received organs... view more...

Immune molecule that plays a powerful role in avoiding organ rejection identified
When a mouse's immune system is deciding whether to reject a skin graft, one powerful member of a molecular family designed to provoke such a response can effectively reduce the visibility of the mouse's own cells and help the graft survive, researchers say. view more (2008-06-17)
Severity of diabetes is key determinant of heart transplant success
Having diabetes should not automatically disqualify you from being considered for a heart transplant. view more (2006-11-07)
Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of mediators which are generally involved in immune... view more...

Role for microRNAs in limb regeneration
In the March 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Kenneth Poss (Duke University Medical Center) and colleagues reveal that microRNA depletion is a necessary step in tissue regeneration - a discovery with interesting implications for their use in regenerative medicine. view more (2008-03-17)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings contributors discuss impact of donor organ allocation system
Liver transplant is a life saving treatment option for people with end-stage liver disease. Unfortunately, the need for donor livers far exceeds the supply. view more (2008-02-07)
Improved DNA stool test could detect digestive cancers in multiple organs
Mayo Clinic researchers have demonstrated that a noninvasive screening test can detect not only colorectal cancer but also the common cancers above the colon -- including pancreas, stomach, biliary and esophageal cancers. view more (2009-06-02)
Kidney transplantation linked with increased risk of various cancers
Following kidney transplantation, some recipients may face a 3-fold increased risk of certain cancer types, according to a study in the December 20 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-12-20)
Lungs' pressure needn't threaten heart transplant survival
Heart surgeons at Johns Hopkins say people who need heart transplants can largely avoid transplant failure due to elevated blood pressure in their lungs with the help of proper drug treatment. view more (2007-11-07)
Scientists Find Stem Cells For the First Time in the Pituitary
A team of researchers led by scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have for the first time identified stem cells that allow the pituitary glands of mice to grow even after birth. view more (2008-04-29)
Type of stem cell found to reside in transplanted lungs
A new study involving a type of stem cells from the lungs of transplant patients demonstrates for the first time that these progenitor cells reside in adult organs and are not derived from bone marrow, which leads to the possibility that the cells may be able to help with the rejection of donated organs and with various kinds of lung disease. view more (2007-03-09)
Researchers examine developing hearts in chickens to find solutions for human heart abnormalities
When it is head versus heart, the heart comes first. The heart is the first organ to develop and is critical in supplying blood to the rest of the body. view more (2009-01-22)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
What is the function of lymph nodes?
If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police stations - the regions in which the immune response is organised. view more (2009-05-26)
