SP - 147 EP - 154 VL - 1 IS - 3 N2 - Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), an inherent component of transplantation, affects organ quality and transplant outcomes. Although the complexity of the pathophysiology is recognized, detailed mechanisms remain unclear, and strategies preventing the consequences of IRI have been challenging. Of critical significance appears the link between IRI, the initiation of innate immune responses, and the (potential) augmentation of adaptive immunity. An improved understanding of those complex mechanisms and interactions may pave the way for more effective treatment strategies.
