Risk factors and consequences of delayed graft function
The impact of delayed graft function (DGF) on the outcome of renal transplantation remains controversial. We analyzed the risk factors for DGF and its impact on graft and patient survival.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

An Analysis of Early Renal Transplant Protocol Biopsies - the High Incidence of Subclinical Tubulitis [PDF]
To investigate the possibility that we have been underestimating the true incidence of acute rejection, we began to perform protocol biopsies after kidney transplantation. This analysis looks at the one-week biopsies. Between March 1 and October 1, 1999,

Kidney Transplant Outcomes after Prolonged Delayed Graft Function
Background: The protracted recovery of renal function may be an actionable marker of post-transplant adverse events, but a paucity of data are available to determine if the duration of graft recovery serves to stratify risk. Materials and Methods: Single-center data of adult-isolated deceased-donor kidney transplant (KTX) recipients between 1 July 2015

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Prolonged graft survival in older recipient mice is determined by impaired effector T-cell but intact regulatory T-cell responses. [PDF]
Elderly organ transplant recipients represent a fast growing segment of patients on the waiting list. We examined age-dependent CD4(+) T-cell functions in a wild-type (WT) and a transgenic mouse transplant model and analyzed the suppressive function of ...

Tacrolimus in pediatric renal transplantation [PDF]
Tacrolimus was used as the primary immunosuppressive agent in 69 pediatric renal transplantations between December 17, 1989, and June 30, 1995. Children undergoing concomitant or prior liver and/or intestinal transplantation were excluded from analysis ...

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

A prospective, randomized trial of tacrolimus/prednisone versus tacrolimus/prednisone/mycophenolate mofetil in renal transplant recipients [PDF]
Background. Between September 20, 1995 and September 20, 1997, 208 adult patients undergoing renal transplantation were randomized to receive tacrolimus/prednisone (n=106) or tacrolimus/prednisone/mycophenolate mofetil (n=102), with the goal of reducing ...

BuMPy road of delayed graft function
delayed graft function (DGF) occurs in 20–30% of renal transplants and contributes significantly to the gradual loss of grafts through accelerated development of chronic allograft dysfunction. Members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family are incriminated as the major driving force for developing fibrosis.
