ABSTRACT Kidney transplantation increases the survival rate of end‐stage renal disease patients; however, acute rejection and glomerulonephritis, such as the uncommon non‐lupus full‐house nephropathy (NLFHN), can lead to graft dysfunction. NLFHN exhibits a characteristic lupus immunofluorescence pattern in the absence of systemic lupus features, which ...

Organ Transplantation: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Prospects
Organ transplantation success relies on precise modulation of the alloimmune response across distinct temporal phases of rejection. Hyperacute rejection results from preformed antibodies activating complement and causing thrombosis, while acute rejection involves T cell‐ and antibody‐mediated mechanisms that drive endothelial activation and ...

Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common complications following simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK). The role of specific immunosuppressive agents in modulating UTI incidence and recurrence remains poorly understood. Methods In this retrospective, single‐center study, we analyzed 164 SPK recipients randomized to receive

Targeting the Glial Scar: Biomaterial and Drug‐Based Strategies for Modulation In Vitro
Human cell‐based in vitro glial‐scar model used to evaluate therapeutics and biomaterials. ABSTRACT Glial scarring creates a significant obstacle for axonal regeneration in the central nervous system after injury and represents one of the main hurdles for neural microelectrode development.

BK polyomavirus microRNA expression and sequence variation in polyomavirus-associated nephropathy
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is a common asymptomatic viral infection in the general population. Severe complications are seen in immunocompromised individuals, such as polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN) in renal transplant recipients. Information on BKPyV microRNA expressions is scarce, although polyomavirus-encoded microRNAs have been ...

Surveillance of polyomavirus BK in relation to immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation
Introduction. Reactivation of polyomavirus BK in kidney transplant recipients has been associated to the development of nephropathy (polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, PVAN), possibly leading to the loss of the transplanted organ.

Parvovirus Infection-Related Anemia after Kidney Transplantation
Anemia postkidney transplantation is an important issue which has been correlated with increased hospitalizations and higher mortality. Infections, including those due to parvovirus B19, CMV, and BK virus (polyomavirus), have also been associated with an

ABSTRACT Background Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a frequent and potentially severe complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children. It significantly affects the quality of life and prolongs hospitalization. Despite its frequency, no standardized management guidelines exist.
