Just in time for #ISHLT2026, validation of the new acute lung allograft dysfunction definitions. @ishlt.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📢 A NEW #ISHLT Consensus Statement on short telomere syndrome (#STS) and #LungTransplantation is now available. 📖💡🫁 Check out the top 8️⃣ takeaways ⏬ Read the publication online at 🔗 https://bit.ly/4jrDYU4 ##TransplantSky #MedSky

📢 A NEW #ISHLT Consensus Statement on the considerations for endpoints in #LungTransplantation clinical trials is now available. 📖💡🫁 Check out the top takeaways ⏬ and read the publication at the 🔗 bit.ly/3KKboR7 #TransplantSky #MedSky

What is the link between biological #aging and #frailty? In a lung transplant cohort, we found anemia and #telomere dysfunction were more linked to frailty than epigenetic age. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

How to define AMR and ACR in #lungtransplantation ? Standing room only at #ISHLT Acute Lung Allograft Dysfunction suggests that many share this question ! @ishlt.bsky.social #transplantresearch

Best papers from the JHLT at #ISHLT2025. ScRNAseq analysis of BAL in ALAD was the most downloaded. Can cells be used to prognosticate FEV1 decline? @jhlt.bsky.social @ishlt.bsky.social

@ishlt.bsky.social Single cell sequencing in ALAD. Hot of the presses in @jhlt.bsky.social. Come see it at the Caves awards today. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@ishlt.bsky.social Sunday’s telomere session filled with advice on what to look out for in STS transplant: MDS, liver, CMV, EBV, AMR, oh my. www.frontiersin.org/journals/tra...

Certainly greater challenges to manage after txp - transfusion needs 🩸, CMV risk 🦠, cancer by PTLD 🦀, airway issues 🫁). But novel and proactive strategies may help (?androgens, ?⬇️ immunosuppression). Lung txp 🫁♻️ saves & improves lives in 🫁 disease, telomere issues or not! ~ Dr. Tokman (Norton AZ)

The immune response to CMV can be good and bad for #transplant recipients. Here, we identified T cells associated with effective CMV control. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Important paper from @MorriseyLab @ScienceMagazine advances our understanding of lung regeneration. #mustread! "An injury-induced mesenchymal-epithelial cell niche coordinates regenerative responses in the lung www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
