MIAMI, Aug. 29 - At the XIX International Congress of The Transplantation Society, three distinguished physician-scientists were named as the winners of the 2002 Medawar Prize. Those recognized by The Transplantation Society for their outstanding contributions to the field of transplantation were Georges Mathé, M.D., René Küss,... view more... (2002-08-29)
Donors' health associated with risk of infection among recipients of corneal transplants
Corneal grafts obtained from donors dying in the hospital or with cancer may be associated with an increased risk of infection for the recipient, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-02-12)
While majority of Americans express interest in organ and tissue donation, few register
While the number of Americans registered as organ and tissue donors is rising, the registry still only includes 38 percent of licensed drivers. view more (2009-04-14)
New antifreeze protein may allow longer storage of transplant organs
A new antifreeze protein discovered in tiny snow fleas by Queen's University researchers may lengthen the shelf life of human organs for transplantation. view more (2005-10-24)
Bridging the gap - mechanical support could increase survival of children requiring heart transplantation (pp 1948, 1967)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 December 2003. Fewer children should die while waiting for a heart transplant if they are given mechanical heart support before transplantation, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Short-term mechanical heart support has potential for aiding children requiring heart transplantation.... view more... (2003-12-10)
A new method of adult stem cell growth efficacious in treatment of disorders of the cornea
A new method of adult stem cell growth, designed in the Area of Cellular Therapy of the University Clinic (University of Navarra), has demonstrated its efficacy for its capacity to grow cornea stem cells. view more (2007-07-20)
Predicting acute GVHD by gene expression could improve liver stem cell transplant outcomes
Many cell transplants involve the use of stem cells from another human being (known as an allograft), which raises the major concern of the potential for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). view more (2008-07-21)
Cloning Pigs And Drug Discovery Among "hot" Topics Discussed At International Congress Of The Transplantation Society
New developments in the areas of cloning and animal-to-human transplantation, and in drug discovery and transplant tolerance - the acceptance of the graft without the need for drugs - will have the most impact on transplant availability and outcomes, said researchers today who spoke at the International Congress of The Transplantation Society in a... view more...

Clinical trial shows islet transplantation is a promising procedure
The first international, multicenter trial of the Edmonton Protocol-a standardized approach to the transplantation of insulin-producing islets-demonstrates that this may be an appropriate therapy that can dramatically benefit certain patients with severe complications of Type 1 diabetes mellitus. view more (2006-09-28)
Artificial tissue from the test tube
The human body is held together by collagen (from the Greek kolla = glue). This group of structural proteins makes up 20-30 percent of the protein content of mammals - and can be found in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, teeth and bones. The range of associated diseases is correspondingly wide. One example is osteoarthrosis, a... view more... (2003-12-01)
Aggressive stem cells might improve transplant outcome
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated in mice a way that might reduce the time it takes for a bone marrow transplant to rebuild a child's immune system, and so reduce the risk of potentially fatal virus infections that can occur during this time. view more (2006-12-08)
Increasing the success of liver transplants by managing levels of anti-rejection drugs
Approximately 600 children receive liver transplants each year in the United States. The use of immunosuppressant drug therapy, namely calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, has decreased the risk of liver rejection and increased patient survival rates. view more (2005-06-13)
Reconstructive surgeon aims for rejection-free limb transplantation
Years ago, the idea of attaching a donor limb onto a patient's body would have been the stuff of science fiction. view more (2006-09-08)
Diabetes research yielding breakthrough success
Freedom from insulin injections and the myriad of health problems related to type 1 diabetes is closer to becoming reality. view more (2006-03-17)
Rapid restoration of immunity in immune-suppressed cancer patients using T-cell vaccines
Patients with multiple myeloma suffer from a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in their bone marrow. view more (2005-10-21)
A transplant in time
In hemophilia, a mutated gene prevents the production of a critical blood-clotting protein. Treatments for hemophilia and other such genetic diseases, when they exist, may consist of risky blood transfusions or expensive enzyme replacement therapy. view more (2007-01-02)
Severe Hypoglycemia is Rare After Islet Transplantation
Episodes of dangerously low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia, were greatly reduced in people who received an islet transplant for poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, according to an analysis of outcomes in 138 patients who had the procedure at 19 medical centers in the United States and Canada. view more (2005-09-07)
Texas Children's discharges first pediatric patient with implanted mechanical heart device
Texas Children's Hospital is the nation's first pediatric hospital to discharge a child while on an intracorporeal ventricular assist device (VAD), a feat previously accomplished only at adult institutions. view more (2009-11-12)
Henry Ford Hospital to study effectiveness of a new procedure that may help emphysema suffers
Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital today announced the start of the EASE (Exhale Airway Stents for Emphysema) Trial, an international, multi-center clinical trial to explore an investigational treatment that may offer a significant new option for those suffering with advanced emphysema. view more (2008-03-13)
Advances In Curing Corneal Illnesses Using Stem Cells
The University School of Clinical Medicine has developed a new technique for the treatment of corneal illnesses. It involves transplanting from the cornea stem cells which have previously been grown in the laboratory. According to the explanation provided by Doctor Javier Moreno, director of Ophthalmology and Doctor Felipe Pr'³sper, responsible... view more... (2004-02-16)
