Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

Kidney Transplant I: Introduction

A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Forced Transdifferentiation

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
Artificial transdifferentiation occurs...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their access...

Area of Science:

Transplantation Science
Bibliometrics
Scientific Publishing

Background:

The field of transplantation is expanding, necessitating evaluation of publications and journals.
Assessing transplant research output is crucial for scientific advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate research output and journal metrics of leading solid organ transplant journals.
To analyze trends in journal rankings and CiteScore categories between 2011 and 2021.

Main Methods:

Data sourced from the Scopus Source List, filtered for Transplantation journals.
Analysis focused on quartile 1 (Q1) journals within the Transplantation category.
Excluded journals focused on specific organ diseases (kidney, liver, heart, lungs).

Main Results:

Transplantation journals increased by 42.8% (28 to 40) from 2011 to 2021.
The American Journal of Transplantation showed significant growth in citations and publications.
Open access (OA) journals increased, but non-OA journals received more citations in 2021.

Conclusions:

Advances in solid organ transplantation correlate with increased publications and citations.
Regular evaluation of transplant journals aids academic and policy-driven research growth.
This study provides a global perspective on transplant journal rankings and their 2011 vs. 2021 status.
