Doctors and medical scientist in Kiel, Germany, report to have solved the biggest problem with organ transplantation: that the receiving body refuses the organ by its aggressively reacting immune system. so far, patients needed to take three drugs with heavy side effects to supress these excessive imune-reactions, and still the procedure often fails. In Kiel they developed a method that does not only transplant the organ, but certain parts of key importance from the immune system as well. By that, they reduce the number of needed drugs from three to one - and this one with extremely low doses and no comparable side-effects anymore.
They said they are so sure of their findings and procedures that they expect them to become new rotuine standard wordwide within just three years.
