(ISSN 2577-5820)

OBM Transplantation (ISSN 2577-5820) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc., which covers all evidence-based scientific studies related to transplantation, including: transplantation procedures and the maintenance of transplanted tissues or organs; assimilation of grafted tissue and the reconstitution of removed organs or parts of organs; transplantation of heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreatic islets and bone marrow, etc. Areas related to clinical and experimental transplantation are also of interest.

OBM Transplantation is committed to rapid review and publication, and we aim at serving the international transplant community with high accessibility as well as relevant and high quality content.

The journal publishes all types of articles in English. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. We encourage authors to be concise but present their results in as much detail as necessary, as reviewers are expected to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic

Current transplantation techniques fall short due to several limitations, including the use of immunosuppression and the scarcity of available donors. Despite an uptick in transplant procedures over recent years, the number of patients awaiting life-saving organs continues to increase at a higher rate. This indicates that the fundamental problem in organ transplantation is still the disjunction between organ demand and supply. Regenerative Medicine presents a promising approach to increase the availability of organs for transplantation, offering a potential resolution to address these critical challenges. By integrating insights and methodologies from transplant immunology, tissue engineering, and stem cell biology, this innovative approach holds the potential to generate an abundant reservoir of donor organs. This research topic aims to investigate how using regenerative medicine can circumvent the current challenges with transplantation.
