Regenerative Medicine Applications in Organ Transplantation
Regenerative Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Ivan MartinAbstract:Regenerative Medicine Applications in Organ Transplantation illustrates exactly how these two fields are coming together and can benefit one another. It discusses technologies being developed, methods being implemented, and which of these are the most promising. The text encompasses tissue engineering, biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology, and developmental biology, all from a transplant perspective. Organ systems considered include liver, renal, intestinal, pancreatic, and more. Leaders from both fields have contributed chapters, clearly illustrating that regenerative medicine and solid Organ Transplantation speak the same language and that both aim for similar medical outcomes. The overall theme of the book is to provide insight into the synergy between Organ Transplantation and regenerative medicine. Recent groundbreaking achievements in regenerative medicine have received unprecedented coverage by the media, fueling interest and enthusiasm in transplant clinicians and researchers. Regenerative medicine is changing the premise of solid Organ Transplantation, requiring Transplantation investigators to become familiar with regenerative medicine investigations that can be extremely relevant to their work. Similarly, regenerative medicine investigators need to be aware of the needs of the transplant field to bring these two fields together for greater results. Bridges the gap between regenerative medicine and solid Organ Transplantation and highlights reasons for collaboration Explains the importance and future potential of regenerative medicine to the transplant community Illustrates to regenerative medicine investigators the needs of the transplant discipline to drive and guide investigations in the most promising directions

Basic immunosuppressive drugs outside solid Organ Transplantation
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2006Co-Authors: Felix Braun, Matthias BehrendAbstract:Immunosuppressive drugs are the backbone of solid Organ Transplantation. The introduction of new immunosuppressive drugs led to improved patient and Organ survival rates. Nowadays, acute rejection can be reduced to a minimum. Individualisation and avoidance of drug-related adverse effects became a new goal to achieve. The potency of immunosuppressive drugs makes them attractive for use in various autoimmune diseases; therefore, the experience on immunosuppressive drugs outside the field of Organ Transplantation is analysed in this review.

HIV and Organ Transplantation.
Current opinion in organ transplantation, 2020Co-Authors: Ingi Lee, Emily BlumbergAbstract:PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the advances that have occurred over the past 2 years in Organ Transplantation in the setting of HIV. RECENT FINDINGS Although HIV+ Organ Transplantation is both safe and effective, recent studies show that HIV+ patients continue to experience barriers to Transplantation. In the United States, the HOPE Act is not only expected to increase the donor pool for HIV+ transplant candidates, but to also allow for the use of donors with false-positive HIV+ tests, which had previously been banned under the US National Organ Transplant Act. More effective HCV treatment, increased experience with heart and lung Transplantation and the potential for increased Organ availability with the inclusion of HIV+ Organ donors have provided for significant advances in the care of these patients. SUMMARY There continues to be progress in the field of Organ Transplantation in persons living with HIV. Future efforts should continue aiming to limit barriers to Transplantation and improving the understanding of immunologic derangements seen in transplant recipients with HIV infection.

solid Organ Transplantation in patients with a history of lymphoma
Journal of Oncology Practice, 2018Co-Authors: Philip J BiermanAbstract:There is an increasing number of long-term survivors of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These people may have a need for subsequent solid Organ Transplantation, often as a result of late effects of their lymphoma treatment. There is abundant literature demonstrating that patients with a history of lymphoma are appropriate candidates for solid Organ Transplantation. Long-term survival without relapse and with a functioning graft is possible. Patients with a history of post-Transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders and patients who have received a prior hematopoietic stem-cell Transplantation may also be candidates. Although high-level supporting evidence is not available, most guidelines recommend a waiting period of 2 to 5 years after lymphoma treatment before patients undergo solid Organ Transplantation. Each patient with a history of lymphoma requires a multidisciplinary approach and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis before consideration of solid Organ Transplantation.
