<h4>Background</h4>Lung donation after cardiac death (DCD), in contrast to donation after brain death (DBD), is a promising and increasingly common method to help relieve the shortage of donor organs. We aimed to study the differential gene expression profiles in lungs of DCD and DBD patients and interpreted the differences using functional pathway analysis.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed microarray studies on pre- and post-transplant lung tissues from 7 DCD and 12 matched DBD patients.
