The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Adolescent D-amphetamine treatment in a rodent model of ADHD: pro-cognitive effects during adolescence and cocaine abuse risk during adulthood [PDF]
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is comorbid with cocaine abuse. Whereas initiating ADHD medication in childhood does not alter later cocaine abuse risk, initiating medication during adolescence may increase risk.

Proposed mechanism for transcriptional regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β hydroxylase (DBH) and monoamine oxidase‐A (MAO‐A) genes during rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) or its loss. Increased histone acetylation and decreased histone methylation of TH and DBH gene favor chromatin opening, increase in gene expressions, increased enzyme ...

Induction of donor-specific transplantation tolerance to skin and cardiac allografts using mixed chimerism in (A + B → A) in rats [PDF]
Mixed allogeneic chimerism (A + B → A) was induced in rats by reconstitution of lethally irradiated LEW recipients with a mixture of T-cell depleted (TCD) syngeneic and TCD allogeneic ACI bone marrow. Thirty-seven percent of animals repopulated as stable

Enhancer Rewiring Orchestrates Inflammation and Loss of Cell Identity During Muscle Stem Cell Aging
A comprehensive multi‐omic profiling of murine muscle stem cells across three ages and both sexes reveals extensive enhancer and 3D genome rewiring, concomitant with increased inflammation, lineage drift, loss of quiescence, and reduced myogenic potential.

Platelet-activating factor and hyperacute rejection: The effect of a platelet-activating factor antagonist, sri 63-441, on rejection of xenografts and allografts in sensitized hosts [PDF]
The pathogenesis of hyperacute transplantation reactions includes the activation of a cascade of nonspecific inflammatory reactions that precipitates the destruction of the target organ.

Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of proposed relationship between hyperglycaemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), active BCR‐related (ABR), RhoA and actin organization of feto‐placental arterial endothelial cells (fpEC). Hyperglycaemia upregulates ABR, which in turn increases RhoA activation.
