    Abstract In this issue, Sobrino et al. present a case of hematopoietic chimerism and subsequent tolerance after isolated kidney transplantation in a pediatric patient with syndromic combined immune deficiency. This report not only highlights the chimerism approach for tolerance induction in transplantation, but it is also the first evidence of hematopoietic stem cells in human kidneys. This commentary discusses the potency and risks of the chimerism approach for tolerance induction after solid organ transplantation, especially in (pediatric) patients with immune deficiencies.

    Abstract The clinical success of solid organ transplantation is still limited by the insufficiency of immunosuppressive regimens to control chronic rejection and late graft loss. Moreover, serious side effects caused by chronic immunosuppressive treatment increase morbidity and mortality in transplant patients. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have proven to be efficient in the induction of allograft tolerance and prolongation of graft survival in numerous preclinical models, and treatment has now moved to the clinics. The results of the first Treg-based clinical trials seem promising, proving the feasibility and safety of Treg therapy in clinical organ transplantation. However, many questions regarding Treg phenotype, optimum dosage, antigen-specificity, adjunct immunosuppressants and efficacy remain open. This review summarizes the results of the first Treg-based clinical trials for tolerance induction in solid organ transplantation and recapitulates what we have learnt so far and which questions need to be resolved before Treg therapy can become part of daily clinical practice. In addition, we discuss new strategies being developed for induction of donor-specific tolerance in solid organ transplantation with the clinical aims of prolonged graft survival and minimization of immunosuppression.

    Abstract Induction of immune tolerance is the Holy Grail in transplantation medicine and autoimmunity. Currently, patients are required to use immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of their lives, resulting in unwanted side effects and complication from global suppression of the immune response. It is well established that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical for the maintenance of immune tolerance towards self-antigens by several mechanisms of immune regulation, in parallel with intrathymic deletion of self-reactive T cells during ontogeny. Therefore, approaches for increasing Treg numbers or function

    Abstract The second International Transplant Science (ITS) meeting jointly organized by the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), the American Society of Transplantation (AST), and The Transplantation Society (TTS) took place in May 2022 in one of Europe's most iconic cities: Berlin, Germany. The ITS meeting 2022 was designed to serve as an international platform for scientific discussions on the latest ground-breaking discoveries in the field, while providing an excellent opportunity to present cutting-edge research to the scientific community. We think this is fundamental for the exchange of new ideas and establishment of collaborative work between advanced transplant experts, young professionals and early-stage researchers and students. Scientific sessions tackled hot topics in transplantation such as mechanisms of tolerance, biomarkers, big data and artificial intelligence. Our educational pre-meeting focused on the breakthrough and challenges in single-cell multimodal omics. The program included panel discussions illuminating various topics concerning conflicts and problems related to gender, such as challenges for female scientists. Attendees returned to their institutes with not only profound knowledge of the latest discoveries, technologies, and concepts in basic and translational science, but also inspired and excited after discussions and networking sessions with fellow scientists which have been duly missed during the pandemic.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The mixed chimerism approach is an exceptionally potent strategy for the induction of donor-specific tolerance in organ transplantation and so far the only one that was demonstrated to work in the clinical setting. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to improve chimerism induction in experimental animal models. This review summarizes the development of innovative BMT protocols using therapeutic Treg transfer for tolerance induction.
    Recent findings: Treg cell therapy promotes BM engraftment in reduced conditioning protocols in both, mice and non-human primates. In mice, transfer of polyclonal recipient Tregs was sufficient to substitute cytotoxic recipient conditioning. Treg therapy prevented chronic rejection of skin and heart allografts related to tissue-specific antigen disparities, in part by promoting intragraft Treg accumulation.
    Summary: Adoptive Treg transfer is remarkably effective in facilitating BM engraftment in reduced-intensity protocols in mice and non-human primates. Furthermore, it promotes regulatory mechanisms that prevent chronic rejection.
