Thymic Involution and Function in People With HIV and General Population Controls: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis From Two Danish Cohort Studies

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
Thymic involution, the age‐related replacement of thymic soft tissue by fat, has been linked to immunosenescence and chronic inflammation. Whether HIV infection affects thymic involution remains unclear. We found that people with HIV on long‐term antiretroviral therapy had more thymic tissue than controls, indicating less thymic involution. More thymic

Expanding the Donor Pool in Pediatric Transplantations: Successful Domino Liver Transplantation From the Youngest Reported Pediatric DCD Donor Using Normothermic Regional Perfusion in the United States

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) during donation after circulatory death (DCD) improves abdominal organ utilization by limiting warm ischemia time. Its application in young pediatric donors remains exceptionally rare; the youngest previously reported DCD‐NRP donor in the United States was 5 years of age.
