Rutgers Health researchers and other medical scientists involved in a large international study have identified new signs of kidney transplant rejection that could lead to more precise diagnosis and ...

Northwestern University scientist have discovered families of proteins in the body that could potentially predict which patients may reject a new organ transplant, helping inform decisions about care.

Transplant rejection occurs when the recipient’s immune system attacks the transplanted organ. This can cause the transplanted organ to fail, undermining the purpose of the transplant and leading to a ...

Researchers identified a natural 'brake' within the innate immune system: the inhibitory receptor Siglec-E (SigE) and its human counterparts, Siglec-7 and Siglec-9. This receptor helps prevent ...

Antibody-mediated rejection is the most common cause of immune-mediated allograft failure after transplantation. Rejection mediated by antibodies has proven tricky to resolve. Now, researchers at the ...

Johns Hopkins scientists and partners across the country are conducting research that could dramatically improve transplants, ...

Receiving an organ transplant can be a nerve-wracking, if lifesaving, affair, said Dr. Joaquin Brieva, a kidney transplant recipient. "Within two days of my transplant, my kidney function was back to ...

Researchers showed promising results using unique acute cellular rejection (ACR) and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) microRNA panels to identify rejection after heart transplantation. There was an ...

Scientists mimicked a powerful immune-system disease in creating a pill that may block the rejection of transplanted organs without as many of the side effects that patients now face, researchers ...

More than 50% of lung-transplant recipients experience a rejection of their new lung within five years of receiving it, yet the reason why this is such a prevalent complication has remained a medical ...
