Core Tip
Core tip: Basic and clinical science in solid organ transplantation are continuously evolving. In this review we outlined the most important innovative findings recently discovered. The period of time chosen was 2013, but attention has been paid to the outstanding conferences held in 2012, but published in 2013, as well as to the conferences and meetings held in 2013 but published in 2014. We are aware that when this study will be published, new interesting and relevant findings will have been discovered. The science is flowing continuously, nevertheless analyzing in depth a short period of time can give useful information to the readers.
