Organ Transplantation: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Prospects.

Area of Science:

• Multidisciplinary field integrating immunology, bioengineering, and data science.
• Focus on organ transplantation advancements.

Background:

• Long-term graft survival is limited by chronic rejection, infection, and organ scarcity.
• Despite progress in donor management and immunosuppression, challenges persist.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review recent advances in organ transplantation.
• To provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving transplant landscape.

Main Methods:

• Synthesis of breakthroughs in organ preservation (machine perfusion).
• Review of precision immunomodulation strategies (T-cell therapy, gene editing).
• Exploration of xenotransplantation, tissue biofabrication, and AI applications.

Main Results:

• Organ preservation technologies enable real-time graft assessment and therapeutic delivery.
• Precision immunomodulation shifts alloimmune control towards tolerance.
• AI enhances donor-recipient matching and personalized immunosuppression.

Conclusions:

• Innovations in preservation, immunomodulation, and AI are reshaping organ transplantation.
• Future pathways include regenerative, immune-educational, and precision organ medicine.
