Ultra-Fast Fluorescence Imaging in Vivo with Conjugated Polymer Fluorophores in the Second Near-Infrared Window [PDF]
, 2014 In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (1.0-1.7 microns) can afford deep tissue penetration and high spatial resolution, owing to the reduced scattering of long-wavelength photons. Here, we synthesize a series of low-bandgap donor/acceptor copolymers with tunable emission wavelengths of 1050-1350 nm in this window. Non-covalent

Enhanced Immunomodulation in Inflammatory Environments Favors Human Cardiac Mesenchymal Stromal-Like Cells for Allogeneic Cell Therapies [PDF]
, 2019 Rising numbers of patients with cardiovascular diseases and limited availability of donor hearts require new and improved therapy strategies. Human atrial appendage-derived cells (hAACs) are promising candidates for an allogeneic cell-based treatment. In

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Using deceased-donor kidneys to initiate chains of living donor kidney paired donations: algorithms and experimentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We design a flexible algorithm that exploits deceased donor kidneys to initiate chains of living donor kidney paired donations, combining deceased and living donor allocation mechanisms to improve the quantity and quality of kidney transplants. The advantages of this approach have been measured using retrospective data on the pool of donor/recipient ...

The rejection that defies anti-rejection drugs. Chronic vascular rejection (allograft vasculopathy): The role of terminology and linguistic relativity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Solid organ transplantation has by now become a common medical procedure. Owing to the introduction of new immunosuppressive drugs, the allograft loss due to acute rejection has been reduced significantly over time. Tragically, the number of donor organs lost due to allograft vasculopathy (AV), generally named chronic vascular rejection or chronic ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

The Anticipated Organ Donation Approach Increases the Number of Organ Donors
Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and ReanimationObjective: Deficiency of organs for transplantation is a significant public health issue. French learned societies accept intensive care unit admission for patients with catastrophic neurological prognosis to optimize organs prior to probable brain death.
