DOI: 10.1111/ctr.13363
Abstract: Current immunosuppressive regimens with calcineurin inhibitors have improved the management of patients after transplantation. However, their adverse effects are linked to increased morbidity and limit the long‐term survival of heart and lung transplant recipients. Belatacept,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.13668
Abstract: Obese transplant recipients (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) have decreased posttransplant patient and graft survival compared with their nonobese counterparts. At the same time, many prednisone‐related side effects (eg, new‐onset diabetes) are similar to those associated… read more here.
