WTC 2025 - Call for Sessions

On behalf of the American Society of Transplantation, the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, and The Transplantation Society, we are delighted to invite you to submit your ideas for program sessions for the World Transplant Congress 2025 (WTC 2025), to be held from August 2-6, 2025, in San Francisco, California, USA.

We are looking for programs that will be interactive, include global themes, speakers, and moderators, and focus on cutting-edge topics that address transplantation and end organ failure.


Just Released - Transplantation Direct - October Issue

The October Transplantation Direct issue is ready for viewing. Many aspects of transplantation are covered in this issue including the area of organ donation where outcomes following changes in HTLV screening practice in the US are evaluated, and the influence of using procurement teams not affiliated with recipient centers on DCD liver transplant outcomes. We have an article on textbook outcomes in organ transplantation being proposed for quality benchmarking. Patients in need of a bioartificial pancreas are explored in another paper. In liver transplantation, a critical analysis has been done on recipients over 75 years old, and another article looks at performing liver transplants in patients with portopulmonary hypertension. A new GFR calculation is proposed to evaluate living donors in kidney transplantation, and the impact of induction therapy and high-risk viral discordance in the USA is determined in older kidney recipients. For our pediatric and heart experts, we have an article on using ddcfDNA measurements as a predictor in pediatric heart transplant recipients. In addition, for those interested in composite tissue transplantation, molecular signatures associated with acute rejection are explored. Please visit our Transplantation Direct website for all the details on these and other articles, all which are freely available to everyone by open access.



Transplantation Journal Highlights

Transplantation and Transplantation Direct - Editors at TTS 2024 Istanbul Congress

The editors of Transplantation and Transplantation Direct met with TTS 2024 attendees during an interactive round-the-table session, to discuss the future of both journals, including what is important in a submission, what are the current hot topics, why authors should publish in both journals, and what the journals offer to authors and readers.
Key aspects are:
  • global readership
  • expert review
  • rapid publication
  • strong social media promotion
The editors look forward to receiving your best research submissions.

Pharmacomicrobiomics: Immunosuppressive Drugs and Microbiome Interactions in Transplantation
The human microbiome is associated with human health and disease. Exogenous compounds, including pharmaceutical products, are also known to be affected by the microbiome, and this discovery has led to the field of pharmacomicobiomics. The microbiome can also alter drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, possibly resulting in side effects, toxicities, and unanticipated disease response. Microbiome-mediated effects are referred to as drug–microbiome interactions (DMI).
Mechanistic Understanding of EBV+Lymphoproliferative Disease Development After Transplantation
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are among the most common malignant complications after transplantation, leading to a drastic reduction in patient survival rates. The majority of PTLDs are tightly linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV+PTLDs) and are the result of an uncontrolled proliferation of EBV-infected cells. However, although EBV infections are a common finding in transplant recipients, most patients with high EBV loads will never develop EBV+PTLD.

Risk Stratification Before Living Donor Kidney Transplantation in Patients With Preformed Donor-specific Antibodies by Different Crossmatch Methods
Preformed donor-specific HLA antibodies (DSA) are a well-known risk factor in kidney transplantation. There is still considerable debate, however, about the optimal risk stratification among patients with preformed DSA. Additionally, data on the prognostic value of different crossmatch assays in DSA-positive patients are scarce.
Impact of Intrapatient Immunosuppression Variability in Liver Transplantation Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
To investigate the impact of intrapatient variability (IPV) in the levels of immunosuppressant drugs on health outcomes after liver transplantation, a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted.

5th Summit on Stem Cell Derived Islets - Online Registration Closes October 22nd!

ISODP Journal Watch - October 2024

For the second edition of 2024’s Journal Watch, the team has uncovered a treasure trove of articles to keep your academic interest stimulated following the TTS Istanbul meeting, where the scientific committee for ISODP Kyoto 2025 also convened.

ISN-TTS Sister Centers Program Application Deadline

The program is a joint partnership between the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and The Transplantation Society (TTS) to help establish new kidney transplant centers and develop existing kidney transplant programs in emerging countries. Please note that the program is open to all ISN and TTS members.

This initiative fosters partnerships between experienced transplant centers in the developed regions (Supporting Centers or SCs) and new and developing transplant centers (Emerging Centers or ECs) in low-resource regions, providing a framework and funding for up to six years of collaboration if adequate progress is made.

After six- years of improvement on the program, graduated centers are encouraged to support a third center within their region and therefore sustain the impact of their training and help other centers to develop.

Application Deadline
October 15, 2024
