El Correo – A Spanish Therapy Opens the Door to Lifelong Transplants
Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón has developed a cell-based treatment that prevents organ rejection without causing side effects, as it does not rely on immunosuppressive drugs. Irene Toribios González was born six months ago at the Madrid hospital with a congenital heart defect incompatible with life, requiring an urgent heart transplant. Under normal circumstances, after […]
ABC – Irene, the First Child to Receive a Pioneering Cell Therapy to Prevent Transplant Rejection
Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have developed a world-pioneering cell-based treatment to prevent organ transplant rejection. The therapy may regulate the immune system’s response and prevent rejection, and three patients are already being treated with this approach. Its goal is to extend indefinitely the survival of the transplanted organ and the patient’s life. […]
La razón – Closer to a Lifelong Transplant
Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have developed a cell-based therapy to prevent transplant rejection by administering regulatory cells derived from the patient’s own thymic tissue. “I was surprised when they told me that transplants are not for life,” says Irene’s father. Irene was born with cardiomyopathy and underwent a heart transplant last November. […]
Redacción Médica – Marañón Makes History: First Cell Therapy for Transplant Rejection
Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have developed a treatment based on regulatory T cells extracted from thymic tissue — the thymus — marking a potential turning point in transplant medicine. Preventing rejection and extending the survival of transplanted organs through cell therapy was once considered unthinkable. However, after seven years of research, the […]
MadridActual – Hospital Gregorio Marañón Develops a Cell Therapy That Could Prevent Organ Transplant Rejection
Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have developed a world-pioneering cell-based treatment to prevent organ transplant rejection. According to the Madrid-based team, the therapy may regulate the immune system’s response and prevent rejection. Developed over more than six years entirely at Gregorio Marañón, the treatment could completely inhibit or significantly reduce the immune response […]
EFE:Salud – Hospital Gregorio Marañón: A World-Pioneering Breakthrough to Prevent Transplant Rejection
Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have fully developed a treatment unique worldwide based on cell therapy to prevent immune rejection and potentially extend the survival of transplanted organs indefinitely, thereby prolonging patients’ lives. The therapy and technology created by the hospital’s Immunoregulation Laboratory could establish a new paradigm in the treatment of multiple […]
El Mundo – A Baby Receives Cell Therapy for the First Time to Prevent Graft Rejection
If the technique proves effective over time, it could mark the beginning of a new era in the clinical management of transplant rejection. Six-month-old Irene has become the first of three children to receive a unique, cell-based therapy using regulatory T cells (Tregs) designed to control and reduce inappropriate inflammatory responses. The goal is to […]
rtve – Hospital Gregorio Marañón Develops a Pioneering Treatment to Prevent Transplanted Organ Rejection
Based on Cell Therapy, It Could Eventually Eliminate the Need for Immunosuppressive Drugs The study shows promising results in the three transplanted infants already being treated with this technique. A team of researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón has presented a pioneering cell-based treatment designed to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and potentially eliminate […]
Antena 3 – Hospital Gregorio Marañón Develops a Pioneering Treatment That Could Prevent Organ Transplant Rejection
A group of researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (Madrid) has developed a pioneering cell-based treatment to prevent transplant rejection. The therapy helps prevent immune rejection and may extend the survival of transplanted organs indefinitely. The first patient treated was six-month-old Irene, who is progressing favorably. The treatment has been developed entirely at the […]
TeleMadrid – Gregorio Marañón Develops a Pioneering Cell Therapy to Prevent Organ Transplant Rejection
Three infants who have undergone heart transplantation are already being treated with this technique and are showing favorable progress. Researchers at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón have developed a pioneering cell therapy to prevent organ transplant rejection. According to the Madrid-based team, the therapy may regulate the immune system’s response and prevent rejection. The treatment, […]
