Despite the good clinical results in terms of outcome with the application of HOPE prior to liver transplantation, very little is still known about the phenotypic and molecular changes that occur during perfusion/preservation during HOPE, particularly with regard to endothelial trophism and activation. Delving into these aspects would be very useful to allow personalised perfusion treatments in the future, thus improving the outcome of transplantation.
HOPE performed on the liver graft prior to transplantation.
Availability of enough tissue for histological, immunohistochemical and RT-PCR analysis.
