Article Abstract

Murine models of allograft transplantation are valuable for understanding the immunological mechanisms of allograft acceptance and rejection, the evaluation of immunosuppressive drugs and strategies, and the restoration of functional defects. Herein, we describe methods to create a skin murine allograft surgical model and how to administer adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC) with limited numbers of donor bone marrow to create stable multilineage donor cell chimerism and indefinite immunological tolerance.

Background: There is increasing interest in using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess quality of life (QoL) following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, there is limited consensus on how such data should be collected within HCT services. This survey study investigated health professionals (HCPs) views towards QoL data collection and factors affecting the use of PROMs within HCT centres in the UK.

Introduction And Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after liver transplantation (LT) impacts patient and graft outcomes. The Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score, an objective and sensitive liver function index, may help predict post-LT outcomes. This study evaluated the association between neohepatic ALBI scores and renal outcomes in living donor LT (LDLT) recipients.

Timely diagnosing and monitoring of primary graft dysfunction is pivotal for heart transplant patient surveillance. Transthoracic echocardiography is the primary noninvasive method for follow-up of heart transplant recipients, which provides comprehensive information on cardiac morphology and function. It is a sensitive tool in diagnosing rejection, helping to improve therapeutic approaches for this condition, and monitoring cardiac function during therapy.

Static cold storage (SCS) on ice has remained the gold standard preservation method for heart transplantation, and prolonged cold ischemia outside the typical 4-6 hour window is associated with an increased risk of primary graft dysfunction - a consequence attributed to ischemic damage and reperfusion injury. This, unfortunately limits the travel radius for donor heart procurement, a key factor that contributes to the overall shortage of donor organs. Recent research and clinical data have illustrated the validity of other preservation systems in preserving cardiac allografts, and many of these devices have shown promise in potentially prolonging the tolerated ischemic time beyond the accepted standard.

Achieving immune tolerance is a key goal in organ transplantation, as it eliminates the need for long-term immunosuppression. Regulatory B cells (Bregs) present a promising strategy for inducing tolerance. Our previous findings demonstrate that the adoptive transfer of ex vivo-expanded murine splenic B regulatory cells, referred to as TLR-Bregs (TLR9/TLR4 stimulation), induces tolerance to allografts.
