UBC Research: Innovative Coating for Blood Vessels Reduces Rejection of Transplanted Organs
|
Vancouver, BC, August 12, 2021--Researchers have found a way to reduce organ rejection following a transplan t by using a special polymer to coat blood vessels on the organ to be transplanted. The polymer, developed by UBC medicine professor Dr. Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu and his team at the Centre for Blood Research and Life Sciences Institute, substantially diminished rejection of transplants in mice when tested by collaborators at SFU and Northwestern University.
