Noninvasive Quantization of Intra-Renal Allograft C4d Deposition with Targeted Ultrasound Imaging
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has emerged as the major cause of renal allograft dysfunction. C4d, a specific marker of AMR diagnosis, was strongly recommended for routine…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Preclinical Application of the Tactile Discrimination Task in Rat Models
Nerve reinnervation is an important issue in the field of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). However, nowadays the effective treatment for enhancing the reinnervation after the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dual Treatment of Suboptimal Doses of CsA and MSC Infusion Fully Prevents Acute Rejection in an Allogenic Model of Renal Transplantation.
The immunomodulatory characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may lead to multifaceted strategies in rejection of organ transplantation. This study was designed to investigate the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Tolerogenic Potential, Migratory Pathways, Engraftment and Long-Term Survival of Human Hematopoietic Chimeric Cells – A Novel Strategy to Induce Tolerance in Transplantation.
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL
