title: What's hot, what's new at WTC--clinical science.
abstract: More than 3000 abstracts of innovative and exciting findings, covering the whole field of organ transplantation, were presented at the World Transplant Congress 2014. Key areas of presentations across all organs and tissues included HLA antibodies, antibody-mediated rejection, living donation, immunosuppression, organ perfusion and surgical procedures. In addition, cutting edge science and future perspectives were presented in state-of-the-art lectures. This review will present highlights of this meeting and demonstrate strength and success of clinical sciences in transplantation.
