Differential Role of PI3K Subunits Gamma and Delta in Regulatory T Cells Homeostasis in Allotransplantation
Renal/Transplant Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA.
Targeting survival pathways that differentially suppress effector T cells (Teff) while sparing regulatory T cells (Tregs) is key in devising novel tolerogenic protocols in transplantation.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Infections After Transplant Tourism in Organ Transplant Recipients
Background:Transplant tourism is defined as travel abroad for the express purpose of receiving or donating an organ. Post-operative complications including infections after transplant tourism may…2015 American Transplant Congress
Does a History of Diabetes in Deceased Donors Modify the Outcomes of Kidney Transplant Recipients With Diabetes?

Delayed Kidney Transplant in Combined Liver-Kidney Transplantation Improves GFR and Patient Survival
Transplant Division, Department of Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis.
Background: Patients requiring combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKTx) are at risk for worse outcomes compared to LTx and KTx alone due to severity of illness and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Liver Allograft Provides Immunoprotection for the Cardiac Allograft in Combined Heart-Liver Transplantation
When transplanted simultaneously, the liver allograft has been thought to have an immunoprotective role on other organs. However, detailed studies on simultaneous heart-liver transplantation (SHLT)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Should Only Active Candidates Define the EPTS Top 20% in the New Kidney Allocation System (KAS)?

Early Allograft Dysfunction Causes Inferior Patient and Allograft Survival in Liver Transplantation; an Experience of 1952 Consecutive Liver Transplants
Transplantation, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Background: Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in liver transplantation (LT) is a useful intermediate outcome measure to predict graft loss or mortality. We sought to investigate…2015 American Transplant Congress
Broader Geographic Sharing of Adolescent Lung Donors Improves Allocation Efficiency
Allocating pediatric donor lungs to pediatric lung transplant (TXP) candidates results in better graft function. However, 87% of adolescent (ADL) donor lungs are allocated to…2015 American Transplant Congress
