The Harmful Effect of Retained Peripheral Cells During Flushing and Static Cold Storage in Rat Liver Normothermic Machine Perfusion
*Purpose: Retained donor blood in a liver graft can cause damage to resident cells that is exacerbated by static cold storage (SCS), leading to platelet…2021 American Transplant Congress
Application of Linear Discriminant Analysis (lda) to Differentiate Acute Rejection (ar) and Acute Dysfunction Non-Rejection (adnr) in Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Blood-based biomarkers distinguishing acute-rejection (AR) from other causes of graft dysfunction (acute dysfunction non-rejection (ADNR)) would have significant clinical applicability in liver transplant (LT)…2021 American Transplant Congress
Thrombolytic Therapy During Ex-Vivo Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Human Livers Reduces Peribiliary Vascular Plexus Injury
*Purpose: A major limitation in expanding the use of DCD livers in transplantation are the higher rates of graft failure secondary to ischemic cholangiopathy. Warm…2021 American Transplant Congress
Comparative Proteomics Analysis Identifies the Biomarker of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury During Liver Transplantation
