Survival rates for allografts have improved over the last 2 decades, yet failing allografts remains a challenge in the field of transplant. The risks of mortality and morbidity associated with failed allografts are compounded by infectious complications and metabolic abnormalities, emphasizing the need for a standardized approach to management. Management of failing allografts lacks consensus, highlighting the need for unified protocols to guide treatment protocols and minimize risks with postdialysis initiation. The decision to wean off immunosuppression depends on various factors, including living donor availability and infectious risks, necessitating improved coordination of care and a standard guideline. Treatment of failed pancreas focuses on glycemic control, with insulin as the mainstay, while considering surgical interventions such as graft pancreatectomy in advanced symptomatic cases. Navigating the complexities of failed allograft management demands a multidisciplinary approach and standardized stepwise protocol. Addressing the gaps in management plans for failing allografts and employing a systematic approach to transplant decisions will enhance patient outcomes and facilitate informed decision-making.

Background: The Luminex platform, where beads are coated with single human leukocyte antigens (HLA), detects HLA antibodies with higher sensitivity and specificity compared to complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assay and flow cross-match (FCXM). The clinical significance of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) detected by this method is still under investigation.
Aim: To report the impact of low-level pretransplant DSAs detected by the Luminex platform on the rates of acute rejection (AR), allograft function, and long-term graft survival.

The CRISPR/Cas9 lentiviral system has emerged as a powerful tool for gene knockout in cancer immunology research. However, the persistent expression of exogenous elements, such as Cas9 and resistance markers, often triggers excessive tumor immune rejection. This can lead to prolonged experimental timelines, increased data variability, biased outcomes, and even experimental failures.

Introduction: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) develops more aggressively in recipients of hearts from brain-dead (BD) donors with induced long QT syndrome (iLQTS), yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we employ a multi-omics and experimental framework to explore the role of neuro-immune interactions in non-failing donor hearts affected by iLQTS.
Methods: Single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) compared four iLQTS and four non-arrhythmic non-failing donor hearts.

Purpose: Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction accounts for 15% to 30% of reported low back pain. Primary treatments of SI joint dysfunction include medications, bracing, physical therapy, injections, and ablations. When primary non-surgical treatments are unsuccessful, fusion or stabilization may be considered.

Background: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative treatment for chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV). While HCT is needed at the appropriate time, there are sometimes difficulties in securing an appropriate donor, making HLA haploidentical donor an alternative option. Recently, post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has rapidly gained popularity as a safe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prevention strategy for HCT from HLA haploidentical donors; however, there are only a few reports of its use for CAEBV.
