ABSTRACT Inflammatory responses have been shown to contribute significantly to the rejection of grafts in both allo‐ and xenotransplantation. In particular, they play a pivotal role in promoting endothelial activation, complement deposition, and thrombosis, thereby compromising the graft function.

Cell-to-cell contact via measles virus haemagglutinin-CD46 interaction triggers CD46 downregulation
CD46 downregulation by measles virus (MV) occurs after expression of virus haemagglutinin (H) protein on the surface of the infected cell and is a consequence of CD46-H interaction on the cell membrane. To assess whether CD46 downregulation also occurs after CD46-H interaction when these two molecules are expressed on distinct cells, we used human T ...

ABSTRACT Xenotransplantation has entered a phase of accelerated clinical translation, necessitating renewed international consensus on governance, ethics, safety, and regulatory oversight. In September 2025, the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA), in partnership with The Transplantation Society (TTS) and with engagement from the World ...

CD46 facilitates entry and dissemination of human cytomegalovirus [PDF]
Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes a wide array of disease to diverse populations of immune-compromised individuals. Thus, a more comprehensive understanding of how CMV enters numerous host cell types is necessary to further delineate the complex nature of CMV pathogenesis and to develop targeted therapeutics. To that end, we

Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...

Integrating Oncolytic Virus Engineering and Delivery Strategies for Enhanced Cancer Virotherapy
Integrated engineering strategies combining oncolytic virus (OV) design with advanced delivery platforms overcome biological barriers and enhance cancer virotherapy. Genetic engineering improves viral potency and selectivity, while local and systemic delivery systems promote viral protection, tumor targeting, penetration, and tumor microenvironment ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome
