Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]

, 2018
Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

Pharmacological prevention of delayed hypersensitivity reactions caused by iodinated contrast media

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Background: Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to radiocontrast media (RCM) occur in approximately 0.5–23.0% of patients and are thought to be caused by T cell-mediated mechanisms. However, an optimal pharmacological preventive strategy is not yet

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Functional expression of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor from cloned cDNA in fibroblasts. [PDF]

, 1986
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, a transmembrane protein, is made by a variety of polarized epithelial cells. After synthesis, the receptor is sent to the basolateral surface where it binds polymeric IgA and IgM.
