  1. 16. Molecular mechanisms behind the liver-induced acceptance of renal grafts in highly sensitized patients

    Författare :Madeleine Ingelsten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :kidney transplantation; liver tolerance; HLA antibodies; dendritic cells; indoleamine 2; 3-dioxygenase; IL-10; natural killer cells;

    Sammanfattning : Preformed antibodies directed at donor HLA are considered an absolute contraindication for kidney transplantation, because of the high risk of rejection. Thus, patients with high levels of HLA antibodies have little chance of receiving a kidney transplant. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate variability in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy : A clinical study before and after liver transplantation

    Författare :Rolf Hörnsten; Urban Wiklund; Staffan Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), found in the northernmost counties in Sweden, is a rare, lethal and inherited amyloidosis. The disease is caused by mutated transthyretin (TTR). The mutation is characterized by an exchange of valine for methionine at position 30 (ATTRVal30Met). LÄS MER

  5. 19. Decellularized liver extracellular matrix as a 3D scaffold for bioengineering applications

    Författare :Vamakshi Khati; Aman Russom; Håkan Jönsson; Giulia Gaudenzi; Ana Teixeira; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; liver decellularization; decellularized liver matrix bioink; bioprinting; sacrificial scaffold; viscoelasticity; bioengineering; tumor modeling; stem cell differentiation; bioreactor; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing global burden of end-stage liver disease has increased the need for liver transplantation, the definitive cure. However, there is a huge discrepancy between the number of available organ donors and the number of patients waiting for transplantation, resulting in the deaths of a significant number of patients on the waiting list as only 10% of the global need for transplantation is met.

  7. 20. Mechanisms of liver allograft rejections

    Författare :Xupeng Ge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Liver transplantation; acute rejection; antibody; biliary epithelial cell; sinusoidal endothelial cell; cholangitis; toll-like receptor;

    Sammanfattning : Liver transplantation (M) has become a standard treatment for many end-stage liver diseases. However, acute rejections still occur in about half of the liver transplant recipients even treated with a combination of different modem immunosuppressants. LÄS MER
