Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi for understanding how the immune system is kept under control without attacking organs"

All efforts by those working in the field of transplants are aimed, on the one hand, at increasing the number of organ donors and, on the other, at improving the tolerance of the transplanted organ by the recipient's body, either by using the least toxic drugs possible or by achieving the desired goal of not needing immunosuppression: immunotolerance. Many guidelines are currently being developed to achieve this, some of which have been successful in our country for different types of transplants. For all these reasons, I think it is a great success that the Swedish Academy has dedicated this year's Nobel Prize to this highly important and topical issue.
