Key takeaways from our study of 307 SPK transplants with very early steroid withdrawal (~1w): ✅Similar KP survival vs maintenance steroids. ✅Rejection drives long-term outcomes. ✅Obesity→↑pancreas graft fail ✅ https://t.co/TxvvSXjsGb

Machine perfusion is transforming access to donor livers. In our @TransplantJrnl Letter, we ask: complement or competition with living donation? We find them complementary—LDLT remains vital, especially for peds & oncology. Policy must balance innovation, equity & sustainability
