First human gets new antibody aimed at hepatitis C virus
Building upon a series of successful preclinical studies, researchers at MassBiologics of the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) today announced the beginning of a Phase 1 clinical trial, testing the safety and activity of a human monoclonal antibody they developed that can neutralize the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). view more (2009-08-07)
Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred. view more (2006-11-03)
Transfusion-free surgical program reduced use of blood products for all liver transplant patients
Development of a transfusion-free surgical program for Jehovah's Witness patients undergoing liver transplantation also has helped reduce the overall use of blood products for non-Jehovah's Witnesses undergoing the procedure. view more (2006-09-19)
Deaths from rodent virus raise need for tracking system
After the deaths of seven people from a virus transmitted through organ donation in the past two years, authorities are recommending that a tracking system be put in place to monitor patients following transplantation, and until then, physicians should be more vigilant in looking for signs of infection transmitted through transplantation. view more (2006-05-25)

Cross-species transplant in rhesus macaques is step toward diabetes cure for humans
With an eye on curing diabetes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreatic cells destined to produce insulin into diabetic macaque monkeys - all without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection. view more (2007-10-19)
Researchers engineer pancreatic cell transplants to evade immune response
In a finding that could significantly influence the way type 1 diabetes is treated, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a technique for transplanting insulin-producing pancreatic cells that causes only a minimal immune response in recipients. view more (2009-01-05)

With the black community facing an ever-growing need for organ donation, the findings of a national survey released today show that a family discussion about organ donation. view more (2005-11-03)
Mayo researchers explore issues related to multiple myeloma treatment
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells that affects approximately 3 in 100,000 people each year. Although there is no cure for this disease, researchers have developed treatments that help relieve pain, control complications, and slow the progress of MM in many patients. view more (2008-10-07)
Survey reports fall in stem cell transplants for breast cancer
The use of stem cell transplantation in breast cancer treatment soared in the early and mid 1990s but the dramatic fall that begin in 1997 as clinical trials showed it appeared to be of little benefit continues, according to new figures published in the April edition of Annals of Oncology[1]. Nearly 28,000 stem cell transplants were carried out... view more... (2004-03-30)
Use of kidney paired donation for incompatible donors could expand donor pool
A preliminary study suggests that kidney paired donation transplantation, in which incompatible donor/recipient pairs exchange kidneys so that each recipient receives a compatible kidney, had graft survival rates equivalent to compatible live donor transplants. view more (2005-10-05)
