JHLT: the Podcast starts July with a discussion regarding a paper entitled, "Comparing DSA-negative and DSA-positive antibody-mediated rejection in heart transplants: Results from the Trifecta-Heart study," available online now and in the July print issue of JHLT.

The podcast hosts are joined this month by first author Katelynn S. Madill-Thomsen, PhD and senior author Philip F. Halloran, MD, PhD, both from the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Center in Canada. Their discussion on the podcast dives into the paper's structure and implications.

The authors and editors discuss:

• Striking similarities—and key differences—in the DSA-negative and DSA-positive groups
• Changes to clinical practice based on the findings, including innovations from the kidney transplant community
• Future studies, including tools and therapies that could be explored for improved clinical outcomes
