Donor selection for KIR alloreactivity is associated with superior survival in haploidentical transplant with PTCy [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 With the continuous increase in the use of haploidentical donors for transplantation, the selection of donors becomes increasingly important. Haploidentical donors have been selected primarily based on clinical characteristics, while the effects of ...

Donor/recipient ascending aortic diameter ratio as a novel potential metric for donor selection and improved clinical outcomes in heart transplantation: a propensity score-matched study [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundDonor/recipient size matching is paramount in heart transplantation. Body weight, height, body mass index, body surface area, and predicted heart mass (PHM) ratios are generally used in size matching.

An Immunologic Compatibility Testing Was Not Useful for Donor Selection in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Ulcerative Colitis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective procedure against Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), with promising but still suboptimal performance in other diseases, such as ulcerative colitis (UC). The recipient’s mucosal immune response

Human leukocyte antigen evolutionary divergence as a novel risk factor for donor selection in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionThe human leukocyte antigen (HLA) evolutionary divergence (HED) reflects immunopeptidome diversity and has been shown to predict the response of tumors to immunotherapy.

Selection of donors and recipients for living donor liver transplantation [PDF]
Liver Transplantation, 2000 Key Points 1. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is increasingly used for adults with end-stage liver disease. 2. Standards for acceptable rates of donor morbidity, and even mortality, must be evaluated in the context of recipient risk of dying while on the waiting list and outcome after transplantation.

SELECTION OF THE LIVING LIVER DONOR
Transplantation, 1995 Living related liver transplantation offers several advantages in comparison to transplantation of cadaver organs. To achieve maximal donor safety evaluation, selection criteria and complications of the donor operation were retrospectively analyzed in living donors of segmental liver transplants.
