Abstract
Organ shortage worldwide is a major limiting factor to transplantations. In Japan, most liver transplants have been performed using living donors because of the severe shortage of cadaveric organ donors. The shortage of donor organs has led to the consideration of organs from marginal donors. We describe innovative medical strategies to increase the donor pool in liver transplantation.
