Journal of Clinical and Experimental Transplantation
Open Access

Transplantation is the science of transferring a graft from one part of the body to another or from one individual to another. The graft may consist of an organ, tissue or cells. Transplantation is one of the great advances in modern medicine. Journal of Clinical & Experimental Transplantation is an open access clinical journal which aims to publish reliable source of information on the discoveries and advanced developments in the field of transplantation. This peer reviewed journal encompasses wide range of topics like heart, lung, kidney, liver, corneal, pancreas, intestine, stem cell, islet cell transplant, tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury and repair, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology relevant to transplantation, transplant complications, xenotransplantation, Skin graft, Engraftment, ethical and social issues.

The main aim of the Journal is to publish latest discoveries and happenings in this field in the form of original research or review articles, case reports, short communications, letter to the editor etc. and provide free online access to it without any restrictions or any other subscriptions to researchers worldwide.

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Transplantation is using Editorial Manager System for online manuscript submission, review and tracking system. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members of Clinical and Experimental Transplantation or outside experts. For the acceptance of the manuscript it requires approval from two independent reviewers followed by editor approval. Authors may submit manuscripts and track the progress through the editorial manager system, until publication. Reviewers can download manuscripts and submit their opinions to the editor. Editors can manage the whole submission/review/revise/publish process.

Abdominal Organ Transplantation

Abdominal organ transplant is more common than thoracic transplantation. Thoracic transplantation includes kidney, liver, pancreas, and combinations of abdominal organs. The most frequently transplanted organs are kidney and liver, which account together for more than 70% of all transplanted organs.

Thoracic Transplantation

Thoracic Transplantation is the replacement of diseased organs located in thorax or chest. The organs which are transplanted in thorax region are heart and lungs (cardiopulmonary system), the esophagus, trachea, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm. Cardiothoracic surgery also encompasses disorders of the heart and pericardium. General Thoracic surgery deals with the disorder of lungs and esophagus. The world’s first heart transplant was done by South African surgeon Christiaan Bernard on December 3, 1967.

Stem Cell Transplantation

The transfer of stem cells from one individual to another within the same species (Homologous) or between species (Xenotransplantation), or transfer within the same individual (Autologous). The source and location of the stem cells determines their potency or pluripotency to differentiate into various cell types. Cord blood stem cell transplantation, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow transplantation is the replacement of bone marrow from one human to another to treat patients who are suffering with leukemia, disease which result in bone marrow failure like aplastic anemia and other immune system or genetic diseases.

Transplant Tolerance

Allograft rejection is the major problem after transplantation. For people who receive an organ transplant, immunosuppressive drugs are a lifeline that prevents their immune system from rejecting the transplant. Transplantation tolerance is defined as a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness without a need for ongoing pharmacologic immunosuppression. Transplantation tolerance could eliminate many of the adverse events associated with immunosuppressive agents.

Transplant Immunology

Transplant immunology is the study of the immune response that occurs when an organ or tissue is moved (grafted) from one individual to another. A major problem following transplantation is that the immune system of the recipient sees the grafted tissue as ‘foreign’ and attacks and destroys it. Immune system identifies the graft through the antigens present on their cells and reacts in a similar way as it reacts to a pathogen. Immunosuppressive agents prevent or delay rejection of transplanted organs. Newer methods induce specific tolerance without suppression of immune system.

Corneal Transplantation

A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. A graft replaces central corneal tissue, damaged due to disease or eye injury, with healthy corneal tissue donated from a local eye bank. An unhealthy cornea affects your vision by scattering or distorting light and causing glare and blurred vision. A cornea transplant may be necessary to restore your functional vision.

Xenotransplantation

Xenotransplantation involves the transplantation of nonhuman tissues or organs into human recipients. Xenotransplantation refers to any procedure that involves the transplantation, implantation, or infusion into a human recipient of either live cells, tissues, or organs from a nonhuman animal source or human body fluids, cells, tissues, or organs that have had ex vivo contact with live nonhuman animal cells, tissues, or organs. Xenotransplantation products include those from transgenic or nontransgenic nonhuman animals and composite products that contain xenotransplantation products in combination with drugs or devices.

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure used to treat baldness or hair loss (alopecia). Typically, tiny patches of scalp are removed from the back and sides of the head and implanted in the bald spots in the front and top of the head. Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure performed on men and occasionally on women who have significant hair loss, thinning hair, or bald spots where hair no longer grows. In men, hair loss and baldness are most commonly due to genetic factors and age.

Transplantation Ethics

Transplantation Ethics field is a specialty within the practice of clinical ethics. The goals of transplantation ethics are to promote the integrity of transplant medicine, and the welfare of living donors and organ recipients. The ethics of allocating human organs for transplantation is a specific application of ethical norms to social practices. The principles involved are essentially the same as those that apply to other areas of human conduct.

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Transplantation through its Open Access Initiative is committed to make genuine and reliable contributions to the scientific community.
