When patients undergo organ transplants, ensuring their bodies don't reject the foreign implants is of the utmost importance. Blood vessels in organs are naturally protected by a coating of sugars that suppress reactions from immune systems, but these sugars are damaged in the process of procurement for transplantation. A recent SciTechDaily article discussed a new method for preventing organ transplant rejection, and it involves coating the blood vessels with a special polymer that mimics the missing protective sugars.
