摘要

At 79, Thomas Starzl doesn't have much left to prove. In July 1967, the sur-geon was the first to perform a successful human liver transplantation; sincethenhehasbeeninstrumentalinmakingthelivertheUnitedStates' second-most-commonly transplanted organ. "He led the field of trans-plantation into the modern era," says J. Richard Thistlethwaite, a transplant surgeon at the University of Chicago. Despite his accomplishments and acclaim, though, Starzl still goes to work each day at the nation's most active organ transplantation center, a University of Pittsburgh facility that happens to be named after him. He and others in the field, it turns out, are still struggling with the same basic challenge they've faced since Starzl's pioneering surgeries: preventing patients' immune systems from attacking and destroying new organs.
