New type of rejection blocker protects kidneys after transplant

In an international clinical trial, a new drug that selectively blocks immune responses has proved as effective in preventing acute kidney transplant rejection as cyclosporine, the standard anti-rejection treatment. Patients who took the experimental drug, a co-stimulatory blocker called belatacept (LEA29Y), also had better kidney function and experienced less of the toxic side effects as...

Simple sea sponge helps scientists understand tissue rejection

Understanding why some transplant patients reject their new organs requires a working knowledge of how cells recognize and accept or reject each other. Xavier Fernndez-Busquets, an MBL researcher visiting from the University of Barcelona, has found the perfect ally in this quest: the red beard sea sponge, an Atlantic species that grows abundantly from just north of Cape Cod down to Florida. <...

Researchers identify genes associated with lung transplant rejection

Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified six genes associated with lymphocytic bronchitis, which is thought to lead to obliterative bronchitis (OB), the most common cause of long-term failure of transplanted lungs. The researchers hope their results will lead to an earlier, more sensitive, and more ac...

Carnegie Mellon develops non-invasive technique to detect transplant rejection at cellular level

Carnegie Mellon University scientist Chien Ho and his colleagues have developed a promising tool that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track immune cells as they infiltrate a transplanted heart in the early stages of organ rejection. This pre-clinical advance, described in an upcoming issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), ultimately could provide a non-invas...

Combination therapy with a monocloncal antibody and a vaccine leads to tumor rejection

Effector T cells (Teff cells) are involved in activating and directing other immune cells, while regulatory T cells (Tregs) act to curb the over-aggressive responses of the T cell population. Researchers continue to work on devising ways to mobilize anti-tumor Teff cells in order to better shape the immune response to tumors. Previously, James Allison and colleagues from Memorial Sloan-Ket...

A Urine Test Could Predict Rejection In Transplant Patients

Researchers now say that a simple urine test may help doctors determine who will experience kidney failure or organ rejection after transplant surgery.// In the study, researchers analyzed 34 urine samples from 32 kidney patients who had transplant surgery. Thirteen protein markers were present in most samples of patients who experienced organ rejection, but none appeared in samples of p...

Rejection Rate for Liver Transplants Patient Reduced

The dawn of the New Year has brought with it a new lease of life for Organ transplant patients who have liver failure. For these //patients the uphill struggle doesn’t stop with finding a matching donor. In fact it would have just started. Research has shown that despite all high tech matching done for liver transplant patients, organ rejection is still a common phenomenon. Transplant s...

Drinking and smoking increases risk of tissue rejection

The woman who underwent the world’s first face transplant in France is frequently visiting the bar near the hospital. Doctors say that she is increasing the risk of tissue rejection by smoking and drinking.// Isabelle Dinoire, 38, hailing from France was given an entirely new face after she had been attacked by her pet dog last year. It was very difficult for her to eat and communicate...

Peer Rejection Leads To Reduced Participation In Classroom Activities

Children who do not take an active part in classroom activities are more likely to demonstrate a poor academic performance a new study shows. Furthermore, children excluded from classroom activities by their peers have also been found to show withdrawal symptoms.// The results of this study can be found in the Journal of Educational Psychology, a publication of the American Psychological Associat...

Inhaled Cyclosporine Results In Rejection Free Survival among Lung Transplant Patients

Patients who undergo lung transplants suffer from rejection of the organ. Hence according to a study researchers have found that inhaled anti-rejection drug, cyclosporine significantly reduces// rejection and results in better lung function. The study results were presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference. The findings come from the same study that previously found that...
