Influence of Clinical and Psychosocial Factors on the Acceptance of no Human Organs in Transplants: Xenotransplants

Brazilian Journal of Transplantation, 2022
Introduction: Xenotransplantation is defined as the transplantation of cells, organs and tissues between different species. It is studied as an alternative method to acquire an adequate supply of human organs, which imbalance in demand results in ...

Embryonic Cell Grafts in a Culture Model of Spinal Cord Lesion: Neuronal Relay Formation is Essential for Functional Regeneration

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Presently there exists no cure for spinal cord injury. However, transplantation of embryonic tissue into spinal cord lesions resulted in axon outgrowth across the lesion site and some functional recovery, fostering hope for future stem cell therapies ...

Rootstock of distant hybrid activates transcription factors of scion cultivar to promote growth and yield in walnut

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a significant commercial tree, valued both for its timber and nut production and it is extensively cultivated across the globe. We exploit heterografting by using cultivar‐‘Shangsong14’ (Juglans regia; ‘S14’) as scion and hybrid elite‐‘Zhongningqi’ (Juglans hindsii × Juglans regia; ‘Q’) as rootstock and self ...

Skin Transplantation and Lymphoid Organ Analysis in Mice

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Skin transplantation in mice is an important procedure to evaluate immune responses generated against heterologous grafts, especially given its highly immunogenic nature. In fact, skin is one of the most challenging organs in terms of allograft retention.

Manipulation of the Expression of Tryptophan Decarboxylase Boosts Grain Functional Quality and Stress Resilience Capacity of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), the rate‐limiting enzyme of tryptophan metabolism in plants, is essential for the production of a series of bioactive molecules, such as serotonin, melatonin and the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid and therefore plays crucial roles in various aspects of growth and development.

Development of α 1,3-galactosyltransferase Inactivated and Human Membrane Cofactor Protein Expressing Homozygous Transgenic Pigs for Xenotransplantation

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2017
Transplantation is considered to be a very useful approach to improve human welfare and to prolong life-span. Heterologous organ transplantation using pig organs which are similar to human beings and easy to make mass-production has known as one of the ...

Synthetic Polyploidisation Enhances Fusarium graminearum Tolerance in Wheat by Reshaping the Transcriptome and Strengthening the Microbiome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidisation is a natural evolutionary mechanism that enhances plant stress tolerance and environmental adaptability; however, its impact on microbiome homeostasis remains poorly understood. In this study, we selected a nascent euploid synthetic hexaploid wheat line (HG116; 2n = 6x = 42, BBAADD) by selfing a triploid F1 hybrid of Triticum ...

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

Generation of Transplantable Beta Cells for Patient-Specific Cell Therapy

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012
Islet cell transplantation offers a potential cure for type 1 diabetes, but it is challenged by insufficient donor tissue and side effects of current immunosuppressive drugs.
