A new study shows that targeting certain donor cells lowers the risk of organ rejection. Researchers found that a highly specialized type of cell called dendritic cells trigger an immune response in the body that causes organ failure. With this understanding, scientists could help solve the issue of organ failure by developing methods to specifically target dendritic cells within transplanted organs.
This new discovery could lead to higher rates of success for organ transplants
