Upregulated IL-33 in Heart Transplants Modulates Local Myeloid Populations to Protect against Chronic Allograft Rejection
Purpose: Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an “alarmin”, or a self-derived molecule that triggers pleotropic immune responses after release from damaged tissue. Yet, how IL-33 shapes alloresponses…2018 American Transplant Congress
IL-21 Regulates Creation of Tertiary Lymphoid Organs in Chronic Allograft Rejection
Background: IL-21 is a cytokine expressed almost exclusively by cells of the adaptive immune system, making it an attractive target for reducing chronic allograft rejection…2018 American Transplant Congress
Role of B Cell Intrinsic NLRP3 in the Development of Chronic Rejection
Endogenous DAMPs elicited during transplantation are recognized via TLR-MyD88 and NLRP3-inflammosome pathways that are expressed in APCs including B cells. Here, we asked whether B…2018 American Transplant Congress

Mitochondrial Membrane Permeability Plays a Critical Role for Endothelial Cell Necroptosis and Cardiac Allograft Rejection
Background: Transplant injury is invariably associated with programmed cell death resulting in delayed graft function and organ rejection. We were the first to describe receptor-interacting…2018 American Transplant Congress
ABO Tolerance after Treatment of Infant or Adult Mice with MHC-Matched A-Expressing Blood Cells
Purpose: ABO-incompatible heart transplantation (ABOi HTx) is safe during infancy and allows increased donor access. Post-ABOi HTx B cell tolerance develops to donor blood group…2017 American Transplant Congress
HCC and Cardiac Cirrhosis After the Fontan Procedure in a Patient with Congenital Heart Disease and Situs Inversus.
