Soluble P-Selectin and the Risk of Primary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation [PDF]

, 2009
Background - Platelet activation with subsequent neutrophilic adherence to the vasculature initiates ischemia-reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that higher plasma P-selectin levels reflecting platelet activation would therefore be associated with ...

Donor lymphocyte count and thymic activity predict lymphocyte recovery and outcomes after matched-sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplant

Haematologica, 2013
Delayed immune recovery is a characteristic feature of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adult recipients. Although recipient thymic T-cell neogenesis contributes to T-cell regeneration after transplantation, thymic recovery in the ...

Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

Mucus Physically Restricts Influenza A Viral Particle Access to the Epithelium

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The infectious potential of respiratory viruses depends on their ability to navigate through a layer of mucus that serves as a protective barrier in the lung. It is demonstrated that influenza A virus penetration through mucus is significantly limited by the gel's internal microstructure and, to a lesser extent, by adhesive binding to mucin glycans ...
