Cellular Dynamics of Transgenic Porcine Endothelial Cells to Inflammatory Stimuli in Xenotransplantation Settings

open access: yesXenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1995
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 ...

Genetic variation in membrane cofactor protein CD46 rs1970530 affects the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesZhongguo aizheng zazhi, 2020
Background and purpose: Membrane cofactor protein CD46 protects host cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity and may be a potential molecular marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the gene

Global Consultation for Clinical Xenotransplantation: International Xenotransplantation Association Consensus and Communiqué Update

open access: yesXenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
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]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
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

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Neural Cells: Physiological and Pathological Roles, and Potential in Neurodegenerative Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 21, 5 June 2026.
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 ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 1142-1166, June 2026.
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
