Recent data demonstrate potentially protective pre-existing T cells reactive against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in samples of healthy blood donors, col...
Little is known about patient perceptions regarding HCV+ organ use in non-HCV infected recipients. This study examined factors influencing the decision to accept HCV+ organs and the resultin...
Lifelong immunosuppression use presents many serious side effects to transplant recipients. Previous studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) regulate the progress of inflammatio...
Poor physical functioning is associated with adverse allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) outcomes. Analytic tools to predict alloHCT patient mortality include the HCT-comorbid...
The value of pre-transplant cytoreductive therapy for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is controversial. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the effects of cytoreducti...
Posaconazole and itraconazole are commonly used for systemic antifungal prophylaxis after lung transplantation. The aim of this study on critically ill lung transplant recipients was to asse...

The thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) romiplostim, eltrombopag, avatrombopag, and lusutrombopag carry unique US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)- and European Medicines Agency ...
As a classical xenotransplantation model, porcine kidneys have been transplanted into the lower abdomen of non-human primates. However, we have improved upon this model by using size-matched...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation remains a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) occurring in approximately 60-70% of CMV-seropositive HCT recipien...
International migration from Sub-Saharan African countries to the European Union and the United States has significantly increased over the past decades. Although the vast majority of these ...
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used for treatment of a myriad of both malignant and non-malignant disorders. However, despite many advances over the years which have resul...
Background Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma can present safety challenges when transplanting recently treated Y-90 patients. To reduce surgeo...
Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) have elevated risks for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), especially in high ultraviolet (UV) radiation environments. We...
GATA2 deficiency is a genetic disorder of hematopoiesis, lymphatics and immunity, caused by autosomal dominant or sporadic mutations in GATA2. The disease has a broad phenotype encompassing ...
The main challenge of immunosuppressive therapy after solid organ transplantation is to create a new immunological balance that prevents organ rejection and does not promote opportunistic in...
This comprehensive review provides an insight into the pathophysiology, epidemiology, evaluation, and treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA)-related stroke in developed and developing countri...
Kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of most renal diseases. A major obstacle to performing a biopsy is safety concerns. However, many safety measures are not evidence b...
Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) are rare inherited disorders arising from monogenic germline mutations in genes that regulate the immune system. The majority of IEI are Primary Immunodeficie...
