CURRENT STATUS OF VASCULARIZED COMPOSITE ALLOGRAFTS TRANSPLANT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Introduction. The field of composite tissue allotransplatation became a clinical reality since first hand transplant performed in 1998 at Lyon, France and has been progressing over the past two decades.

Organ Transplantation: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Organ transplantation success relies on precise modulation of the alloimmune response across distinct temporal phases of rejection. Hyperacute rejection results from preformed antibodies activating complement and causing thrombosis, while acute rejection involves T cell‐ and antibody‐mediated mechanisms that drive endothelial activation and ...

Machine Perfusion Enables 24-h Preservation of Vascularized Composite Allografts in a Swine Model of Allotransplantation [PDF]

open access: yes
International audienceThe current gold standard for preserving vascularized composite allografts (VCA) is 4 degrees C static cold storage (SCS), albeit muscle vulnerability to ischemia can be described as early as after 2 h of SCS. Alternatively, machine

Psychosocial factors and medication adherence among recipients of vascularized composite allografts

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Psychosocial factors are important predictors of medication adherence, and subsequently graft survival, in solid organ transplantation. Early experiences suggest this may also be the case in vascularized composite allotransplantation. Methods:

Local and Systemic Immunologic Profiles Differentiate Accepted and Rejected Islet Grafts in a Rat Anterior Chamber Model

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The anterior chamber of the eye (ACE) provides a minimally invasive, immune‐privileged site for pancreatic islet engraftment. However, loss of immune privilege during revascularization can trigger inflammation and graft rejection. In this study, we compared ocular and systemic immunologic responses associated with accepted and rejected islet allografts

Exploring Costimulatory Blockade-Based Immunologic Strategies in Transplantation: Are They a Promising Immunomodulatory Approach for Organ and Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation? [PDF]

open access: yesJ Pers Med
The field of transplantation, including the specialized area of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA), has been transformed since the first hand transplant in 1998. The major challenge in VCA comes from the need for life-long immunosuppressive

Emerging Implications for Extracellular Matrix-Based Technologies in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation

open access: yes, 2016
Despite recent progress in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA), limitations including complex, high dose immunosuppression regimens, lifelong risk of toxicity from immunosuppressants, acute and most critically chronic graft rejection, and ...

Topical Application of Human Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Accelerates Mouse Sciatic Nerve Recovery and is Associated with Upregulated Neurotrophic Factor Expression

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2019
Peripheral nerve regeneration following injury is often slow and impaired, which results in weakened and denervated muscle with subsequent atrophy.
