Research and Future Directions in Transplant Medicine
Transplantation is a life-saving procedure that can save thousands of lives by replacing defective or deformed organs with healthy organs from donors. Common organ transplants, such as kidney, liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, intestines, and tissue, can restore vital organ function and improve individuals’ lives. However, our body’s immune response to transplanted organs can lead to organ rejection, which can cause complications in patients.
