Identifying Key Questions and Challenges in Microchimerism Biology [PDF]
Advanced ScienceMicrochimerism research has recently gained renewed attention despite known existence of these rare cells for decades. Fetal and maternal microchimeric‐derived cells may have functional capabilities, and are increasingly associated with both beneficial ...

Microchimerism, PERV and Xenotransplantation
Viruses, 2023 Microchimerism is the presence of cells in an individual that have originated from a genetically distinct individual. The most common form of microchimerism is fetomaternal microchimerism, i.e., cells from a fetus pass through the placenta and establish ...

Clinical impact of early microchimerism dynamics after transplantation with enhanced dual-conditioning regimen in hematological diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundMicrochimerism dynamics following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may predict engraftment and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to quantify microchimerism changes and assess their clinical significance.MethodsIn

Pregnancy induced displacement of preexisting microchimeric cells in the absence of maternal B and T cells [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyBidirectional exchange of cells between mother and fetus occurs during pregnancy, and persistence of these genetically foreign cells establishes long-term microchimerism in both individuals after parturition.

HLA-mismatched stem cell microtransplant prolonged overall survival and promoted immunological reconstitution for multiple myeloma [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyBackgroundDespite advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma, a proportion of patients still hardly achieve desired prognosis. Although microtransplant (MST) has proved promising results in treating several hematological malignancies, it has not been ...

Self or nonself: end of a dogma? [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyImmunologists generally view the notion of self and non-self as part of a broader, more contextual understanding of immune function, rather than a rigid dogma.

Microchimerism; Bilateral migration of cells between mother and fetus [PDF]
Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2022 Introduction: The bilateral cell traffic between fetus and mother probably occurs in all pregnancies and is participated in the development of fetal immune system, tissue repair in autoimmune diseases, cancer and maternal immune surveillance. Progressive

Male microchimerism in the human female brain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In humans, naturally acquired microchimerism has been observed in many tissues and organs. Fetal microchimerism, however, has not been investigated in the human brain.
