New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...

Minimizing Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Xenotransplantation
The recent dramatic advances in preventing “initial xenograft dysfunction” in pig-to-non-human primate heart transplantation achieved by minimizing ischemia suggests that ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) plays an important role in cardiac ...

Elastomeric mesoporous membranes are developed for the elaboration of a bioartificial pancreas for type 1 diabetes treatment. Using green‐electrospinning followed by thermal and washing post‐treatments, the membranes achieve ≈20 nm pore sizes, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength and flexibility.

Future Systems of Xenotransplantation: Melding Historical and Bioethical Methodology
The future of xenotransplantation is promising. However, the scientific process behind xenotransplantation, shown through the methodology of history and bioethics, involves stakeholders beyond the laboratory. We present three short vignettes, the history

The case for xenotransplantation [PDF]
AbstractThe availability of organs and cells from deceased humans for transplantation is not meeting the demand. Xenotransplantation, specifically the transplantation of organs and cells from genetically engineered pigs, could resolve this problem. Diabetic monkeys have remained normoglycemic and insulin‐independent after pig islet transplantation for &

Cerebral ischemia is a serious neurological disease that mainly leads to pathological changes such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and iron death. Mitochondria play a key role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism and oxidative stress, and their damage can lead to mitochondrial damage, reduced adenosine triphosphate production,

Abstract Clear cell ovarian cancer (CCOC) is the second most common ovarian cancer subtype, accounting for 5%–11% of ovarian cancers in North America. Late‐stage CCOC is associated with a worse prognosis compared to other ovarian cancer histotypes, a challenge that has seen limited progress in recent decades.
