Trachea Transplant With Stem Cells

I just saw this today. This was a trachea transplant done in Spain in which the patient's own stem cells were used in order to allow the patient to receive the transplanted organ without the need for immunosuppressant medications. Check it out here.

It's good to finally have time to put into this blog. I've been hard at work since graduating nursing school and then becoming a hemodialysis nurse caring for patients with End Stage Renal Disease who are awaiting kidney transplant. I look forward to contributing new information about transplant medicine as well as new opportunities for advocacy and activism for transplant causes.
