On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite lead author Jan Van Slambrouck, MD, to discuss the paper, "The effect of rewarming ischemia on tissue transcriptome and metabolome signatures: A clinical observational study in lung transplantation."   Dr. Van Slambrouck is a general surgeon who's just finished his PhD training at the KU Leuven lab of respiratory disease and thoracic surgery in Belgium.   The episode explores:  How rewarming ischemia time (RIT) affects donor lungs, especially on the molecular level The pace of rewarming and how prior literature prepared the team to track and evaluate it Clinical strategies to reduce RIT and directly address molecular changes   For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.   Those involved in the pulmonary vascular disease space should tune in again later this month for a study on the safety and efficacy of riociguat in patients with PAH.   Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?
