Anti-HLA DSA and Beyond: deciphering the immunological mechanisms driving chronic rejection

About this Special Issue

Submission deadlines

  1. Manuscript Submission Deadline 30 April 2024 | Manuscript Extension Submission Deadline 31 October 2024

Background

Despite the progress achieved over the last two decades in the field of therapeutic immunosuppression, immune-mediated destruction of allograft (aka chronic rejection) remains among the first causes of late failure. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved first in allorecognition and then in generating graft damages and allograft fibrosis, appears as a mandatory step to design future innovative therapeutic strategies with the potential to improve long-term outcomes.

This Special Issue of Transplant International gathers the best international experts to propose a synthesis of the latest advances in transplant immunology in the field of chronic rejection immunopathology.
