Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
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

Tunable Regional Targeting of Self‐Assembling Peptide Nanomaterials in Acute Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In a rat model of acute myocardial infarction, intravascular delivery of peptide nanofibers with a collagen‐targeting peptide bound to the infarct vasculature while globular peptide nanoparticles penetrated into the infarct area. This study demonstrated that size, shape, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials control the delivery location within the ...

Capabilities of intravascular imaging techniques in the diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy: Literature review

open access: yesВестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a coronary heart disease (CHD), arising after an orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), and it is one of the leading causes of death in heart recipients. The probability of death is 10%.
