Advances in organ transplantation
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
The field of organ transplantation has witnessed significant strides in recent years, offering renewed hope for individuals suffering from organ failure. These advancements address two key challenges: the limited availability of donor organs and the long-term health of transplant recipients. The transplantation of genetically modified porcine organs into brain-dead or severely ill patients, the improvement of organ perfusion and transplantation techniques, the evolution of strategies to achieve longer organ preservation and expansion of donor pools, the advancement of precision immunosuppression approaches, and the development of new automated diagnostic tools for allograft rejection as well as of new predictive and prognostic models, is marking a period of exciting transformation.
This cross-journal Collection welcomes submissions of original research studies focused on addressing unmet needs in organ transplantation. This includes studies focused on new transplantation and xenotransplantation approaches, on strategies aiming at improved organ preservation and expanded availability, and on predicting, monitoring, or ameliorating the health of transplant recipients. We are open to receiving translational and preclinical studies, observational clinical studies, interventional clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, biomarker and diagnostic accuracy studies.
In addition to original research, we are open to receiving Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments that offer significant insights into the topic.
This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Nature Communications, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports more generally.
All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific journal through which they are submitted, namely Nature Communications, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports. Visit Nature portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.
When submitting your manuscript to Nature Communications, Communications Medicine and Scientific Reports via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
