Abstract
The term "chronic lung allograft dysfunction" has emerged to describe the clinical syndrome of progressive, largely irreversible dysfunction of pulmonary allografts. This umbrella term comprises 2 major clinical phenotypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and restrictive allograft syndrome. Here, we discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and potential therapeutic avenues to address this major barrier to improved long-term outcomes. In addition, we review the immunologic mechanisms thought to propagate each phenotype of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, discuss the various models used to study this process, describe potential therapeutic targets, and identify key unknowns that must be evaluated by future research strategies.
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.
