Here is the link to UCLA Health’s website explaining the research behind immunosuppression-free kidney transplants. Delayed just means you do the STEM cell transplant after the transplant and not concurrently.
There is another research program that transplants both the kidney and the STEM cells together. I was considered for that program but was rejected due to a cyst in my sister’s donated kidney. Here is a video from the UCLA website above about the first research couple in the delayed study. My sister and I are couple number six.
Dr. Jeffrey Veale was my surgeon for the kidney transplant and he is awesome. He put my sister’s kidney in my left lower abdomen. He is from Alberta originally. Canada 🇨🇦＃1️⃣ ‼
My program was for two weeks of treatment followed by the STEM cell transplant. My Day 0 was on August 4th, 2025. I will have updates on each day later.

I believe this is the original concurrent tolerance study at clinicaltrials.gov and NIH.
