Prevention of Early Graft Loss by Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ Agonist, Pioglitazonoe, in Canine Islet Autotransplantation
Purpose: Approximately 50% of islet grafts are destroyed within 72 hours after pancreatic islet transplantation (PITx) due to non-specific inflammatory responses. Previously, we reported that…2013 American Transplant Congress
Comparative Effectiveness of Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin vs. Interleukin-2 Receptor Blockers in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplants with Delayed Graft Function, The
Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
