Activation of immune signals during organ transplantation

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
The activation of host’s innate and adaptive immune systems can lead to acute and chronic graft rejection, which seriously impacts graft survival. Thus, it is particularly significant to clarify the immune signals, which are critical to the initiation ...

Breeding triple‐advantage cottonseed with higher yield, enhanced nutrition, and reduced toxicity by redirecting terpenoid metabolism to astaxanthin

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Cottonseed is a valuable source of edible oil and protein, but its utilization is limited by high gossypol content. In this study, we engineered cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) to biosynthesize astaxanthin through both single‐gene (CrBKT) and multi‐gene (CrBKT, ZmPSY1, PaCrtI, HpCrtZ) expression strategies.

Heterologous Cytomegalovirus and Allo-Reactivity by Shared T Cell Receptor Repertoire in Kidney Transplantation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with allograft rejection but the mechanisms behind are poorly defined yet. Although cross-reactivity of T cells to alloantigen and CMV has been hypothesized, direct evidence in patients is lacking.

Evolutionary Conserved and Divergent Responses to Copper Zinc Superoxide Dismutase Inhibition in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Maturation and development of fetal pig intestinal tissue in immunodeficient mice [PDF]

Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the degree of maturation and development of fetal pig segmental intestinal tissue with that of spheroids created by in-vitro reaggregation of dissociated fetal intestinal cells after transplantation into ...

Effect of Parenteral Heterologous Albumin on Transplanted Tumors in Mice.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1964
SummaryParenteral administration of heterologous albumin (125 mg/kg body weight per day or 2 g/kg body weight in 14 days) was found to increase the incidence of tumors produced by inoculation of sarcoma 180 cells from 59% in control mice given saline, to 92% in mice given albumin.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...
