Gasdermin-D Mutation is Protective against Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
J. Li, N. Rogers, S. Alexander
Centre for Transplant and Renal Research, Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Westmead, Australia
*Purpose: Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of cell death, is dependent on membrane pore formation through the assembly of cleaved Gasdermin-D molecules. We hypothesized that this…

The Inflammatory Response in the Context of Tissue Injury: Roles of Tyro3, Axl, and Mer (TAM) Receptors in Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
J. Zhang, M. Ni, D. Jin, H. Zhang, R. Busuttil, J. Kupiec-Weglinski, Y. Zhai
Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Although the inflammatory response in liver ischemia reperfusion injury has been studied extensively, how the context of tissue injury (presence of necrotic/apoptotic cells) regulates…
