    Tacrolimus as a Tool for Intracellular Assessment of von Willebrand Factor Production by Activated Human Glomerular Endothelial Cells.

    S. Béland, P. Vallin, O. Désy, S. De Serres.

    Renal Division, University Health Center (CHU) of Quebec, Laval University, Quebec, QC, Canada.

    Background: Von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a prothrombotic mediator stored in intracytoplasmic granules within endothelial cells and is released by endothelial exocytosis, leading to microangiopathic…

    Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) Activity Protects Against Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Through MMP-9-Dependent and MMP-9-Independent Mechanisms.

    S. Duarte, P. Matian, H. Kato, R. Busuttil, A. Coito.

    The Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles.

    Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteinases with key roles in tissue homeostasis, inflammation and repair. We have recently shown that MMP-9 and MMP-2,…
