The Impact of a Novel Dual Adenosine Triphosphate-Competitive mTOR Inhibitor (TORKinib) on Alloimmunity and Transplant Survival.
Background: Rapamycin (RAPA), an immunosuppressive agent, inhibits the mechanistic target of Rapamycin (mTOR), the kinase subunit of two mTOR- containing complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2). While…2016 American Transplant Congress
Function of Sertoli Cells in Regulating Allogeneic T Cell Differentiation into Treg and Th17 In Vitro.
The testis as an immune-privileged site allows long-term survival of allogeneic and xenogeneic transplants. Testicular Sertoli cells (SCs) can confer local immunoprotection for cotransplanted cells…2016 American Transplant Congress
Identifying Social Barriers to Health Literacy in ESRD Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplant Evaluation.
Background: Low health literacy is associated with increased hospitalizations and mortality. ESRD patients have reduced health literacy as ESRD disproportionately affects the elderly and individuals…2016 American Transplant Congress

Outcome of the Various Pathology Grades of Antibody-Mediated Rejection After Heart Transplantation.
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: The pathology scale for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) was approved by the board of directors in 2013. The ISHLT AMR grading scale consists of pAMR…2016 American Transplant Congress
Relationship Between Changes in Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Cardiac Allograft Rejection Early After Heart Transplantation.
1University of Colorado, Aurora, CO; 2Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN.
Endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs) are routinely used to detect cardiac allograft rejection after heart transplantation (HTx), but they are invasive and costly. Serial changes in brain…2016 American Transplant Congress
Frequency and Utility of Donor-Specific Antibody Testing in Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplant.
Introduction: The risk of antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) recipients is thought to be lower than in kidney alone patients due…
