Blocking the Immune System Aims to Improve Kidney Transplant Success Rate ; Opsona Therapeutics Tests Immune Dampening to Ward off Dangerous Inflammation after Transplants. How Does the Science Behind It Work?Claire O'Connell
The generation of autologous cells could be greatly facilitated by direct reprogramming of patient-derived cells into induced renal-like cells, which would bypass the time-consuming steps of hiPSC generation and differentiation. Intriguingly, a protocol based on combined expression of specific transcription...
The transplant care team is responsible for providing patient education, but creating appropriate resources that resonate with patients can be time and resource intensive [18]. AI has the potential to enhance the ability of healthcare providers to efficiently create educational materials. Despite the ...
This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis on published studies about the Global Survival Rate of Graft and Patients in the Kidney Transplantation of children. Studies that investigated the survival rate of kidney transplants published until the
Both IVF-ET and ICSI can be performed using donor gametes, if needed. Hormonal ovarian stimulation The early steps in hormonally-stimulated ovulation are the same in grade 1 and grade 2 MAR techniques, with the difference being that in grade 1 MAR, when conception occurs inside the woman’s...
Performing the ureterovesical anastomosis in kidney trans- plantation is one of the major steps during the surgery. There are predominantly two commonly used procedures for ureteroneocystostomy: "Politano-Leadbetter" (PL) and "Lich-Gregoir" (LG). However, several fewer known methods exist ...
Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the rate of steps completed toward receiving a kidney transplant. Each patient could complete up to 4 steps: step 1, referred to a transplant center for evaluation; step 2, had a potential living donor contact a transplant center for evaluation...
Cell-based therapies are promising treatments for various kidney diseases. However, the major hurdle in initiating therapeutic responses is the inefficiency of injection routes to deliver cells to the kidney parenchyma. Systemic injection, such as intrav
It is well known that the incidence and mortality rate due to COVID-19 in the renal transplant population is higher than in the general population, and this worse prognosis has been associated with variables such as advanced age or severe pneumonia.3, 4 For this reason, this was one of th...
prevent the generation of cytotoxic T cells [31]. Despite increasing mortality, MMF is considered vital to transplant success and patient survival, with regimens lasting more than a year. However, risks are not exclusive to recipients; the major disadvantages to a living donor transplant are ...
