Hi everyone just wanted to share this video about a possible breaththrough about an 8 year old girl. Who after a kidney transplant doesn't have to take an immunosuppressant drugs after reviewing a special type of kidney.

Hi there,

Yes, I saw this in the news this week.

What a fantastic development in transplant procedures! I see they are not ready to proceed with this for general transplants because of the risks of a double transplant but in time they will find ways to overcome these risks.

Just shows how important it is to support raising funds for research.

Thanks for sharing this...

Best wishes

Mgt
