In France, 3376 people received a kidney transplant in 2022, 511 of them from a living donor. Kidney transplants account for more than 60% of organ transplants performed each year. But while some transplants work for many years, others are rejected by the donor’s body, sometimes after just a few months.

Journaling Science Professor John Rogers’ team from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston (Illinois, United States) presents an implantable device that can make it possible to measure biological parameters in real time inoculation and warn. when the transplanted kidney shows signs of suffering; If rejection is detected at any stage…
