Using deceased-donor kidneys to initiate chains of living donor kidney paired donations: algorithms and experimentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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 ...

Donor selection for allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation: clinical and ethical considerations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Allogenic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment for many diseases. Stem cells may be obtained from different sources: mobilized peripheral blood stem cells, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood.

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Combining CD34+ stem cell selection with prophylactic pathogen and leukemia directed T‐cell immunotherapy to simultaneously reduce graft versus host disease, infection, and leukemia recurrence after allogeneic stem cell transplant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 159-165, January 2023., 2023
Donor stem cell product undergoes CD34 stem cell selection. CD34 positive stem cells are used for transplantation. Pathogen‐ and leukemia‐specific T‐cells are manufactured from CD34 negative fraction and infused prophylactically 21 days after transplant.

Time-dependent variations in BK polyomavirus genome from kidney transplant recipients with persistent viremia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a human DNA virus that resides latent in the host’s renal tissue. Reactivation occurs occasionally and in case of kidney transplantation, it can lead to polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN).

Maximum Matchings in Graphs for Allocating Kidney Paired Donation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Relatives and friends of an end-stage renal disease patient who offer to donate a kidney are often found to be incompatible with their intended recipients. Kidney paired donation matches one patient and his incompatible donor with another patient and donor in the same situation for an organ exchange.

Mitochondrial Transplantation via Magnetically Responsive Artificial Cells Promotes Intracerebral Hemorrhage Recovery by Supporting Microglia Immunological Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.
A type of magnetically responsive artificial cells (ACs) has been developed, demonstrating the loading of mitochondria and self‐enclosure processes to ensure the protection of mitochondrial transport via the bloodstream. The treatment with ACs effectively transplanted mitochondria around the lesion, thereby improving neurological recovery by supporting

Lovo‐cel gene therapy for sickle cell disease: Treatment process evolution and outcomes in the initial groups of the HGB‐206 study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 11-22, January 2023., 2023
Treatment process evolution. *The target TNC for BMH was ≥6 × 108/kg per patient. The Group B1 patient received lovo‐cel produced using both the original and refined manufacturing process, and the Group B2 patient received lovo‐cel produced using only the refined manufacturing process.
