Donor lungs safely preserved up to 20 hours out-of-body prior to transplantation
2025-04-27
27 April 2025, Boston—A study on donor lungs preserved outside the body before transplantation demonstrated that the hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) technique is a safe and effective lung preservation method, even with total out-of-body times approaching 20 hours.
Jitte Jennekens, MSc, organ perfusionist/transplant coordinator at the UMC Utrecht in the Netherlands, presented the study results at today’s Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) in Boston.
“This technique is being used to preserve donor livers and ...

EXPERTS AT ISHLT REPORT URGENT NEED
FOR PEDIATRIC HEART SUPPORT DEVICES
27 April 2025, Boston—At today’s Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) in Boston, Angela Lorts, MD, MBA, issued an urgent call for improved mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices for children with life-threatening heart conditions.
“Advances in pediatric cardiac disease are underfunded and understudied. Therapies are rarely developed for children. We modify adult therapies to use in pediatrics,” ...
DCD heart transplantation reaches 10-year mark, now up to 30% of transplant volumes
2025-04-27
27 April 2025, Boston—Researchers at the Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) marked the 10-year anniversary of modern heart donation after circulatory death (DCD), a technique that has significantly increased transplant volumes around the world.
Sarah Scheuer, MD, PhD, said that most centers that have started a DCD program experience an approximately 30 percent increase in their transplant volume.
“It’s arguably the biggest shift in heart transplantation ...

Immunotherapy before and after surgery improves outcomes in head and neck cancer
Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center-led phase 3 clinical trial shows that pembrolizumab before and after standard-of-care surgery significantly extends event-free survival, representing the first advance for these patients in over 20 years
BOSTON, April 27, 2025 — Patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer who received the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab before, during and after standard-of-care surgery had longer event-free survival without the cancer coming back and higher rates of substantial tumor shrinkage prior to surgery, according to the first interim ...

DONOR HEARTS ARE TRAVELING LONGER DISTANCES WITH MACHINE PERFUSION
Technology Could Pave the Way to International Heart Exchange
27 April 2025, Boston—In places like Australia, where metropolitan areas are separated by an entire continent, donor hearts used to go unused simply because transplant teams couldn’t get the organ to a recipient in time.
“If there isn’t a recipient for an available heart in Perth but there’s a match in Sydney, that's nearly 2,000 miles of travel, or a five-hour flight,” said Emily Granger, MBBS, cardiothoracic and heart and lung transplant ...

Six Leading Organizations Unite to Launch the Pediatric Heart Transplant Alliance
Chicago, Illinois – 27 April, 2025 – A groundbreaking collaboration among leading organizations in pediatric heart transplantation has led to the formation of Pediatric Heart Transplant Alliance. Founding partners include Enduring Hearts, the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS), Transplant Families, Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION), and Additional Ventures. The mission of the Alliance is to serve as a powerful coalition spotlighting the need for advancements in pediatric heart transplantation ...
Effect of coupled wing motion on the aerodynamic performance during different flight stages of pigeon
2025-04-27
A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology presented a CFD simulation method based on biological experimental data to analyze the aerodynamic performance of pigeons during takeoff, leveling flight, and landing in free flight.
The research paper, published on Mar. 11, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
Birds achieve remarkable maneuverability in takeoff, steady flight, and landing by continuously and adaptively morphing their wing shape, yet existing bio-inspired flapping-wing ...
Cercus electric stimulation enables cockroach with trajectory control and spatial cognition training
2025-04-26
A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology presented a steering control strategy for cyborg insects in operant learning training of cockroaches in a T-maze. Cockroaches developed a preference for specific maze channels after only five consecutive sessions of unilateral cercus electrical stimulation and steering behavior induction, achieving a memory score of 83.5%, outperforming traditional punishing training schemes.
The research paper, published on Mar. 7, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
Cyborg insects are highly adaptable for detection and recognition assignments, achieved through the electrical stimulation of multiple organs ...
Day-long conference addresses difficult to diagnose lung disease
2025-04-26
26 April 2025, Boston—Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) often goes undiagnosed for years, is frequently caught late, and primarily affects young, otherwise healthy individuals. Even when diagnosed, finding the right treatment can be challenging.
At this year’s Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), a day-long CTEPH conference—co-sponsored by ISHLT and the International CTEPH Association (ICA) —brought together ...
