Special Issue on Organ Transplantation
This special issue on “Organ Transplantation” is aimed at bringing together recent developments in the fields of organ transplantation. Organ transplantation is the moving of an organ from one body to another or from a donor site to another location on the patient's own body. There are many kinds of organ transplantation including autografts, allografts, xenograft, split transplants and so on. Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and thymus. The emerging field of regenerative medicine is allowing scientists and engineers to create organs to be re-grown from the patient's own cells such as stem cells, or cells extracted from the failing organs. As one of the most important research fields of human life, organ transplantation is of great attractions to researchers.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring organ transplantation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Allograft and allotransplantation

Autograft and isograft
