Abstract
Liver transplantation faces several biological challenges, including those related to ischemia/reperfusion injury, graft rejection or tolerance, and disease recurrence. These processes significantly impact posttransplant outcomes and highlight the need for a deeper understanding to improve patient care. The progress of omics sciences has been remarkable over the past decades, and omics techniques are widely used in clinical investigations. In this review, we have explored and briefly described investigations using omics technologies (epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) to better understand the processes affecting liver transplantation. Additionally, we have highlighted recent studies that use cutting-edge omics technologies, including single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and multiplex proteomics, often integrated into multiomics approaches, which enable a more detailed and holistic analysis of the produced data, paving the way for the discovery of precise biomarkers for liver transplant monitoring and the development of novel therapies to prevent allograft rejection.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of The Transplantation Society, and the International Liver Transplantation Society, Transplantation is published monthly and is the most cited and influential journal in the field, with more than 25,000 citations per year.
Transplantation has been the trusted source for extensive and timely coverage of the most important advances in transplantation for over 50 years. The Editors and Editorial Board are an international group of research and clinical leaders that includes many pioneers of the field, representing a diverse range of areas of expertise. This capable editorial team provides thoughtful and thorough peer review, and delivers rapid, careful and insightful editorial evaluation of all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Transplantation is committed to rapid review and publication. The journal remains competitive with a time to first decision of fewer than 21 days. Transplantation was the first in the field to offer CME credit to its peer reviewers for reviews completed.
The journal publishes original research articles in original clinical science and original basic science. Short reports bring attention to research at the forefront of the field. Other areas covered include cell therapy and islet transplantation, immunobiology and genomics, and xenotransplantation.
