Uterus transplants and Mexico’s rule of law by Palacios-González, C, Mendoza Cárdenas, HA

“…Uterus transplantation is a new fertility treatment for some women who lack a functioning uterus. …”

Injectable transplantation system for anticancer in-situ cell therapy by Sheng, Nan.

“…In this project, we are aiming to evaluate the feasibility of remodeling immunosurveillance into the tumor site, with an engineering, more particularly, functional materials-mediated cell therapeutic strategy by designing an injectable cell transplantation system for anti-cancer therapy. The RAW 264.7 cells are encapsulated in dual-layer hydrogel composite which is in injectable size. …”

Differential response of the microbiome of pocillopora acuta to reciprocal transplantation within singapore by Deignan, Lindsey Kane, McDougald, Diane

“…Amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA) was used to assess the coral microbiomes at 1, 2, 4, and 10 days post-transplantation. Coral microbiomes responded rapidly to transplantation, becoming similar to those of the local corals at the destination reef within one day at Raffles and within two days at Kusu. …”

Predicting graft and patient outcomes following kidney transplantation using interpretable machine learning models by Salaun, A, Knight, S, Wingfield, L, Zhu, T

“…The decision to accept a deceased donor organ offer for transplant, or wait for something potentially better in the future, can be challenging. …”

Investigation of CD27-CD70 co-stimulation in human regulatory T cells for enhanced cellular therapy in transplantation by Arroyo Hornero, RC

“…<p>CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and are a focus of investigation in the treatment of transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. Current clinical protocols for Treg cellular therapy production are heavily reliant on in vitro expansion techniques. …”

Ex vivo expansion and genetic manipulation of mouse hematopoietic stem cells in polyvinyl alcohol-based cultures by Khoo, HM, Meaker, GA, Wilkinson, AC

“…Self-renewing multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are an important cell type due to their abilities to support hematopoiesis throughout life and reconstitute the entire blood system following transplantation. HSCs are used clinically in stem cell transplantation therapies, which represent curative treatment for a range of blood diseases. …”
