Stem cells ``trick'' the immune system to accept mismatched organs
Stem cells can be used to ``trick'' the immune system into accepting organs from a mismatched, unrelated organ donor as its own, according to a new study that may free many organ transplant patients from a having to take a lifetime of anti-rejection or immune-suppressing medication.
SCIENTISTS claim to have found that liver can kill immune cells, a finding which they claim may pave the way for new approaches to transplant rejection, and fight against hepatitis and other chronic liver diseases.
