New Paradigms in Rejection Monitoring: Lymphocyte Subsets as Noninvasive Graft Markers in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation
Our study demonstrates that monitoring specific lymphocyte subsets offers a promising adjunct for graft surveillance that is less invasive when compared with traditionally used punch biopsies. This approach not only enhances the precision of rejection monitoring but also improves patient comfort and compliance, thereby contributing to better long-term graft outcomes.
