In general, organ implantation is co-ordinated

via see more regional or national allocation programs, which set up the priorities for organ allocation and provide the essential logistics and laboratory support for the transplantation process.1,2 These organs can be preserved for a relatively short period of time, and therefore mechanisms for immediate organ allocation, once a donor is identified, are critical. Organ transplantation is one of the most complex procedures in medicine Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical for several reasons. First and foremost, it involves dealing with the
