The Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper And Immunomodulation In Extracorporeal Photochemotherapy [PDF]
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) induces antigen-specific immune tolerance in graft-versus-host disease and solid-organ transplant rejection, and involves the ex vivo exposure of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to 8-methoxypsoralen plus ...

Treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease: Past, present and future [PDF]
Chronic GVHD was recognized as a complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation more than 30 years ago, but progress has been slowed by the limited insight into the pathogenesis of the disease and the mechanisms that lead to development of

Modified Extracorporeal Photopheresis As An Immunotherapy In Murine Melanoma [PDF]
Extracorporeal Photochemotherapy (ECP) is a widely used immunotherapy for cutaneous T cell lymphoma, as well as an immunomodulatory treatment for graft versus host disease (GVHD) and rejection of allografts.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis—An Overview [PDF]
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) has been in clinical use for over three decades after receiving FDA approval for the palliative treatment of the Sézary Syndrome variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in 1988.

Potential Mechanisms of Photopheresis in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Immune tolerance describes specific unresponsiveness to antigens. In clinical situations such as graft-versus-host disease it may be useful to capitalize on these pre-existing tolerance mechanisms to treat patients.

Apoptotic cell-based therapies against transplant rejection: role of recipient’s dendritic cells [PDF]
One of the ultimate goals in transplantation is to develop novel therapeutic methods for induction of donor-specific tolerance to reduce the side effects caused by the generalized immunosuppression associated to the currently used pharmacologic regimens.

Robotic-assisted Ultrasound for Fetal Imaging: Evolution from Single-arm to Dual-arm System [PDF]
The development of robotic-assisted extracorporeal ultrasound systems has a long history and a number of projects have been proposed since the 1990s focusing on different technical aspects. These aim to resolve the deficiencies of on-site manual manipulation of hand-held ultrasound probes. This paper presents the recent ongoing developments of a series

Possibilities of biological control of extracorporeal photochemotherapy
The results of the determination of levels of apoptosis in vitro in lymphocytes during the procedures of extracorporeal photochemotherapy (extracorporeal photopheresis) using flow cytometry are described. It was found that carrying out extracorporeal photopheresis does not have a significant effect on the viability of cells immediately after the ...
