This procedure could not have been possible without the gift of life from the deceased donor's family. This unselfish gift has positively affected these two patients. Thank you to all donors and donor families.

Emory Transplant Center Liver Transplant patient story – "No Walk in the Park, But Worth It"

I thought that once I got my transplant, life would go back to normal. But getting a transplant is not really a walk in the park.

Hear one patient's story about their liver transplant at Emory University Hospital in 2002.

We are on the list right now - - I say "we" although it is my husband Eddy that is on the list I truly feel that we are both on it. It is great to hear transplant patients stories and especially how getting the transplant gave them more memories they would not have otherwise had shared. We feel the same way about Emory.

Emory Transplant Center Lampreys’ alternative immune system

...lampreys have cells that look like T cells, in terms of some of the genes that are turned on. However, they don’t have MHC genes, which are important in human transplant medicine because they determine how and when T cells get excited and reject transplanted organs...

Source: www.emoryhealthsciblog.com
At Emory, Max Cooper and his colleagues have been studying lampreys’ versions of white blood cells. In a recent Nature paper, they show that lampreys have two kinds of cells that look very much like B and T cells in mammals, birds and fish.
