NEW APPROACH TO LUNG TRANSPLANTATION FROM A DONOR WITH A NON-BEATING HEART (pp 819, 825)
The shortage of lungs for transplantation could be overcome by a new ethical and surgical approach detailed in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Organ transplantation usually occurs when a donor's heart is still beating; however, lungs that are cooled can be preserved for 12-24 hours after the heart... view more (2001-03-15)

Largest study of unrelated bone marrow transplantation for leukemia serves as benchmark
Together with 16 other institutions in the United States, University of Minnesota researchers led the largest study to date in patients with leukemia and related disorders undergoing bone marrow transplantation from unrelated donors.   view more (2005-08-03)

Embryonic stem cells might help reduce transplantation rejection
Researchers have shown that immune-defense cells influenced by embryonic stem cell-derived cells can help prevent the rejection of hearts transplanted into mice, all without the use of immunosuppressive drugs.   view more (2008-09-16)

New Cell Transplantation Technique Restores Insulin Production in Diabetics
Researchers are using a new cell transplantation technique to restore the cells that produce insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes. The method is minimally invasive, with few complications.   view more (2005-11-30)

MU Researchers Study Facial Structures, Brain Abnormalities to Reveal Formula for Earlier Detection of Autism
Recently, Harvard researchers reported that children with autism have a wide range of genetic defects, making it nearly impossible to develop a simple genetic test to identify the disorder. Now, University of Missouri researchers are studying 3-D imaging to reveal correlations in the facial... view more (2008-08-19)

Central nervous system infections rare but devastating following heart transplantation
Central nervous system infections develop infrequently following heart transplants but are a significant predictor of death, according to an article posted online today that will appear in the December 2007 print issue of Archives of Neurology.   view more (2007-10-09)

Dividing lip zones to be injected for augmentation may help increase patient satisfaction
Dividing the lips into zones based on structure may help cosmetic surgeons perform enhancement procedures with high patient satisfaction and few adverse effects.   view more (2008-01-22)

Multiple low-energy plasma skin treatments may help diminish facial wrinkles
A study involving eight patients suggests that multiple low-energy treatments with a plasma skin regeneration tool may help to reduce wrinkles and improve facial appearance with minimal healing time.   view more (2007-02-20)

Emotional control circuit of brain's fear response discovered

The body's immune system hates strangers. When its security patrol spots a foreign cell, it annihilates it.   view more (2008-11-21)

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... view more (2002-08-20)
