Evaluating EndoC βH5 pseudoislets as a model for human islet transplantation

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The EndoC βH5 cell line represents a promising human β‐cell model for preclinical diabetes research. Indeed, EndoC βH5 cells aggregate into islet‐like organoids, secrete insulin in a glucose‐dependent manner, and express a variety of β‐cell functional markers.

RETROPERITONEOSCOPIC DONOR NEPHRECTOMY: EXPERIENCE WITH 5 YEARS

Вестник урологии, 2016
We modified the method of retroperitoneoscopic live donor nephrectomy and evaluated results of 5 years procedures. There were no conversions to open or hand-assisted surgery. All organs have been successfully transplanted. Retroperitoneoscopic live donor

Laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2004
In order to increase the number of renal donors, laparoscopic live-donor nephrectomy (LLDN) was first performed 8 years ago. Today, LLDN is a routine procedure in many centres worldwide. We reviewed the literature with regard to extend the use of this method, the feasibility and safety for donor, graft and recipient.

Characterising differential maturation of stem cell‐derived islets in mice: Graft function and transcriptomic analysis

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Stem cell‐derived islets (SC‐islets) offer the potential to revolutionise type 1 diabetes treatment. However, functional maturation in vivo is variable, suggesting that specific, but as‐yet undefined, environmental cues are critical. We aimed to identify pathways associated with SC‐islet in vivo maturation in mice, assess early functional

Clinicopathological and molecular comparison of eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma and TFEB‐amplified renal cell carcinoma: a comprehensive study of 15 cases

Histopathology, EarlyView.
This study supports the need for ancillary testing to diagnose ESC‐RCC versus TFEB‐amplified RCC, as neither morphology nor immunohistochemistry is sufficiently specific to distinguish these entities. The underlying molecular drivers in each tumour are pathogenic TSC1 or TSC2 gene variants in ESC‐RCC and TFEB gene amplification in TFEB‐amplified RCC ...

Predictive utility of computed tomography‐derived renal parenchymal volume for long‐term postoperative renal function in cats with hydronephrosis

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the utility of preoperative feline renal parenchymal volume derived from computed tomography in predicting the serum creatinine concentration during the long‐term postoperative period. Materials and Methods In this retrospective clinical study, we included 13 client‐owned cats with normal kidneys and 24 cats with hydronephrosis ...

All in the family: Kidney donation in aging Japan

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the ethical and cultural logics shaping living donor kidney transplantation in Japan, where donation is restricted to kin and deceased donation remains rare. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Tokyo‐area hospital, it analyzes how Japan's kin‐based transplantation regime contrasts with the utilitarian model dominant in
