Transplantation involves overcoming immune rejection by inducing tolerance to foreign tissues, a challenge that requires precise immunological interventions. This book deals with the immunological principles of organ and tissue transplantation, including graft rejection mechanisms, immunosuppressive therapies, and tolerance induction strategies. It covers advances in transplant immunology, such as HLA matching and regulatory T-cell therapies, making it a critical guide for clinicians and researchers.
Sierra Jenkins is an immunologist specializing in transplant immunology, focusing on the balance between tolerance and rejection. Her research examines how the immune system recognizes transplanted organs and how to prevent rejection. Sierra has contributed to groundbreaking studies on immunosuppressive therapies and organ transplantation. Her work includes studying the molecular signals involved in transplant rejection and tolerance. Sierra’s research continues to improve transplant outcomes and patient survival.
