Description
Xiaohan Jin and co-authors review the state of lung transplantation in a 2026 paper. Transplant remains the only firm cure for end-stage lung disease, and 2025 brought progress on several fronts. The authors gathered the year's key studies and sorted them into four areas: how organs are shared, care around surgery, how grafts get injured, and new frontiers.
They also drew on society guidelines and early 2026 work. Gains ranged from fairer allocation rules to deeper insight into why donated lungs fail over time. The review serves as a map of where the field stands and which problems, from organ shortage to chronic rejection, still block the road.
