Searching for the Body's 'Acceptance' signal after hand and face transplants
NCT ID NCT02055521
Summary
This study aimed to find biological markers that could show if a person's body is naturally accepting a hand or face transplant. Researchers tested 18 patients who had received transplants at least one year prior, looking for specific immune system patterns. The goal was to learn if these markers could help identify patients who might safely reduce their lifelong anti-rejection medications, which carry significant side effects.
