The Novel Establishment of Neuroma in Continuity Animal Model Based on Buccal Nerve in Rats.
Introduction: Peripheral nerve regeneration is a challenging and a rapid growing field. Its application is no longer restricted to trauma reconstruction but also in vascularized…2017 American Transplant Congress
Beneficial Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Porcine Hepatocytes Viability and Albumin Secretion.
Aim: Acute liver failure carries a very high mortality and transplantation of encapsulated pig hepatocytes might temporarily compensate the metabolic functions until the dysfunctional liver…2017 American Transplant Congress
Senescence and Uremia Effects in Circulating T Cells Diverge in TREG Population and Cause T Cell Shift to a Memory Profile.
Elderly kidney transplant recipients(EKtx) have higher malignancies and infections rates, but lower acute rejection incidence. Senescence seems to result in shift to memory profile and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Technically Successful Miniaturization of Blood Hemofilters for an Artificial Kidney via Bioengineering Techniques.
Background: Creating flow channel pathways for an implantable artificial kidney with minimal risk of thrombosis is particularly difficult when miniaturizing into a multilayer bio-hybrid device.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Biodistribution of Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells Administered via the Renal Artery in Novel Rat Transplant Model.
Introduction:A novel rodent model of ischaemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) has shown significant improvement in renal function and histology after administration of adipose derived regenerative cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Semimature Dendritic Cell on Transplantation Tolerance of Hepatocytes Differentiated from Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells.
The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
Objective Research of semimature dendritic cell(smDCs) inducing transplantation toleranceof hepatocytes differentiated from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and its mechanismtions.Methods Inducing 129 mouse ESCs labelled…2017 American Transplant Congress
Noninvasive Renal Transplant Graft Monitoring in Single Institution Using Cell-Free DNA in Recipient Plasma via Insertion-Deletion Allele Polymorphism.
IntroductionThere is an unmet clinical need in renal transplantation towards early detection of donor organ damage. Serum creatinine(SCr) and biopsies are not ideal.Cell-free donor DNA(cfdDNA)…2017 American Transplant Congress
High Eomesodermin Expression Correlates with Potent Human Allo-Reactive CD8+ Effector T Cells.
Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
BackgroundThe transcription factors Eomesodermin (Eomes) and T-bet are thought to play critical roles in CD8+ effector memory T cell development. However, the role of Eomes…2017 American Transplant Congress
Transcriptome Analysis of CD4-Lymphocyte Specifically Deleted of IKKbeta or NEMO in an Experimental Model of Rapid Progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN).
RPGN is T-cell mediated and can recur after kidney transplantation. T-cell receptor stimulation leads to intracellular signaling events ultimately causing activation of transcription factors such…2017 American Transplant Congress
Novel Biomarkers for Segregating Lung Transplant Rejection Phenotypes.
We sought to investigate biomarkers in BAL fluid and tissue for segregating BOS and RAS chronic rejection phenotypes in lung allografts. We had previously identified…
