Impact of Low Dose Tacrolimus with Everolimus Regimen on Renal Pathology and T-Regulatory Cells in Kidney Transplant.
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) serve as the cornerstone of immunosuppression (IS) after kidney transplant. However chronic CNI nephrotoxicity has been implicated in allograft dysfunction. We hypothesize…2016 American Transplant Congress

Administration of IL-33 Before Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation Expands Recipient Treg That Prevent Graft- vs. Host Disease.
Background: During allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), non-hematopoietic cell IL-33 is augmented and released by recipient conditioning to promote Type 1 alloimmunity and lethal acute…2016 American Transplant Congress
Novel Function of CD4+ T Cell DEPTOR in Treg Homeostasis and Alloimmunity.
DEPTOR, a recently described modulator of PI-3K/mTOR signaling, is expressed by CD4+ T cells, and functions to modulate CD4+ Teff cell differentiation. Upon CD4+ T…2016 American Transplant Congress
Obesity Is Associated with Increased Risk of ESRD Among Living Kidney Donors.
