Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) Attenuation of Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI): A Proposed Mechanism.
Introduction: EVNP has the potential to repair deceased donor renal IRI. We hypothesize that EVNP may attenuate renal IRI via alteration of lipid metabolism.Methods: Eight…2016 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Lipid Levels on Cardiovascular Events After Early Conversion from Calcineurin Inhibitor to Everolimus: 24 M Analysis of the ELEVATE Study.
Background: Immunosuppressive therapies are probably the most important cause of hyperlipidemia post-renal transplantation (RTx). Lipid abnormalities represent important biomarkers for cardiovascular (CV) risk. Here, we…2016 American Transplant Congress
Sphingosine 1-Phosphate (S1P) Receptors Differentially Regulate Murine and Human CD4 T Cell Migration Across Lymphatic Endothelium.

S1P and S1PR1 are used by T cells to migrate from thymus across microvascular endothelium to the blood circulation, and across medullary lymphatic endothelium of…2015 American Transplant Congress
ABCB1 Haplotypes, Sex, Calcineurin Inhibitors and Lipid Profiles Post-Renal Transplant
Purpose: Hyperlipidemia is common in renal transplant recipients (RTR) during calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) immunosuppression. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ABCB1 that modulates…
