Identifying the Unmet Healthcare Needs of Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Experience Graft Loss: Learning From Patients’ Experience
Kidney transplant recipients with graft loss (KTR-GL) are an increasing group of patients whose care needs are largely unmet. The lack of patient perspectives is a key research gap. We conducted an in-depth exploration of the experiences of KTR-GL to identify their healthcare needs.
Defining an NK Cell–enriched Rejection-like Phenotype in Liver Transplant Biopsies From the INTERLIVER Study
Initial analysis of liver transplant biopsies in the INTERLIVER study (ClinicalTrials.gov; unique identifier NCT03193151) using rejection-associated transcripts failed to find an antibody-mediated rejection state (ie, rich in natural killer [NK] cells and with interferon-gamma effects). We recently developed an optimization strategy in lung transplants that isolated an NK cell–enriched rejection-like (NKRL) state that was molecularly distinct from T cell–mediated rejection (TCMR). Here we apply the same strategy to a liver transplant biopsy population.

Is 2 h of Hypothermic Machine Perfusion for Pancreas Preservation Effective in Improving Graft Reperfusion?
Static cold storage (SCS) remains the standard method for organ preservation. The development of parenchymal edema during prolonged hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) was a major barrier to the introduction of this technique for the preservation of pancreases. A short period of HMP could optimize the pancreas for reperfusion while minimizing the side effects related to perfusion. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of short-term HMP on the pancreatic reperfusion.
Optimal Utilization of Donors Aged ≥65 Y in Lung Transplantation to Increase Donor Availability While Maintaining Comparable Posttransplant Outcomes
Utilizing older donors (≥65 y) in lung transplantation can greatly expand donor availability while potentially maintaining typical survival outcomes in certain subpopulations, such as older recipients, especially compared to survival with single lung transplants (which comprise ~20%–25% of US lung transplants according to recent data).
