Ex vivo lung perfusion moderates gene expression differences between cardiac death and brain death donor lungs

Donation after cardiac death (DCD) donor lungs have been shown to express less proinflammatory genes than donation after brain death (DBD) lungs, likely due to the absence of brain-death related inflammatory physiology. However, it is unclear whether this difference is clinically significant followi...
