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 ...

Medical scientists involved in a large international study have identified new signs of kidney transplant rejection that could lead to more precise diagnosis and treatment for transplant recipients.

Researchers at UCSF have developed a novel, potentially life-saving approach that may prevent antibodies from triggering immune rejection of engineered therapeutic and transplant cells. Rejection ...

Following a heart transplant, patients must undergo surgical biopsies so that clinicians can monitor for signs of organ rejection. A new study shows the promise of a biomarker that could allow doctors ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...
