Rab4b Promotes Cytolethal Distending Toxin from Glaesserella parasuis-Induced Cytotoxicity in PK-15 Cells

Toxins
Glaesserella parasuis cytolethal distending toxin (GpCDT) can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Our laboratory’s previous work demonstrated that GTPase 4b (Rab4b) is a key host protein implicated in GpCDT-induced cytotoxicity.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal 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
