Organ Neuroprosthetics: Connecting Transplanted and Artificial Organs with the Nervous System

Silvestro Micera

Implantable neural interfaces with the central and peripheral nervous systems are currently used to restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions in disabled people with very promising results. They have also been used to modulate autonomic activities to ...

Predicting type 2 diabetes risk before and after solid organ transplantation using polygenic scores in a Danish cohort

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be multifactorial where both genetics and environmental factors play a role. We aimed to investigate the use of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in the prediction of pre-transplant T2DM and post-transplant diabetes mellitus ( ...

Compliance-matching vascular grafts with personalization potential

Georgios Rovas

Aortic diseases are characterized by dire prognosis and inadequate diagnosis, owing to their insidious yet lethal nature. Aortopathies, namely aortic aneurysms and dissections, along with certain congenital diseases, might necessitate surgical replacement ...

NAD(+) Metabolism and Interventions in Premature Renal Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease

Vincenzo Sorrentino

Premature aging causes morphological and functional changes in the kidney, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a global public health issue with far-reaching consequences, including cardio-vascular complications, increased frailty, shortened li ...

Longitudinal incremental propensity score interventions for limited resource settings

Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet

Many real‐life treatments are of limited supply and cannot be provided to all individuals in the population. For example, patients on the liver transplant waiting list usually cannot be assigned a liver transplant immediately at the time they reach highest ...

New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys

Céline Gagnieux

Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...

Design and computational optimization of compliance-matching aortic grafts

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Introduction: Synthetic vascular grafts have been widely used in clinical practice for aortic replacement surgery. Despite their high rates of surgical success, they remain significantly less compliant than the native aorta, resulting in a phenomenon calle ...

Causal inference with recurrent and competing events

Mats Julius Stensrud, Pal Christie Ryalen, Matias Janvin

Many research questions concern treatment effects on outcomes that can recur several times in the same individual. For example, medical researchers are interested in treatment effects on hospitalizations in heart failure patients and sports injuries in ath ...

Roles of Clinical Features and Chest CT in Predicting the Outcomes of Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 Developing AKI

Ali Falsafi

This research aimed to evaluate the clinical features and computed tomography (CT) scans associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). A total of 351 COVID-19 patients (100 AKI, 251 non-AKI) hospitalized at Imam Hossein ...

Industrial Biotechnology Conservation Processes: Similarities with Natural Long-Term Preservation of Biological Organisms

Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay

Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...

Islet Encapsulation: New Developments for the Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes

Yi Wang, Sandrine Gerber

Islet transplantation is a promising approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Currently, clinical islet transplantation is limited by allo - and autoimmunity that may cause partial or complete loss of islet function within a short period of tim ...

Assessment of Stiffness of Large to Small Arteries in Multistage Renal Disease Model: A Numerical Study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia

Arterial stiffness (AS), as assessed via pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a major biomarker for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanisms responsible for the changes in PWV in the presence of kidney ...

A novel soft cardiac assist device based on a dielectric elastomer augmented aorta: An in vivo study

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Armando Matthieu Walter, Francesco Clavica, Silje Ekroll Jahren

Although heart transplant is the preferred solution for patients suffering from heart failures, cardiac assist devices remain key substitute therapies. Among them, aortic augmentation using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) might be an alternative tech ...

Humoral Responses Against Variants of Concern by COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in Immunocompromised Patients

Didier Trono

IMPORTANCE There are limited comparative data on the durability of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses elicited by messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) in immunocompromised patients and healthy controls. ...

Assessment of Aspartate and Bicarbonate Produced From Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate as Markers of Renal Gluconeogenesis

Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

As both a consumer and producer of glucose, the kidney plays a significant role in glucose homeostasis. Measuring renal gluconeogenesis requires invasive techniques, and less invasive methods would allow renal gluconeogenesis to be measured more routinely. ...

Differential role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency in acute and chronic kidney disease

Johan Auwerx, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Elena Katsyuba

Background. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a ubiquitous coenzyme involved in electron transport and a cosubstrate for sirtuin function. NAD(+) deficiency has been demonstrated in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods. We studied ...

Renal tubular arginase-2 participates in the formation of the corticomedullary urea gradient and attenuates kidney damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Dmitri Firsov

Aim Arginase 2 (ARG2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis ofl-arginine into urea andl-ornithine. In the kidney, ARG2 is localized to the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. It has been shown that expression and activity of this enzyme are up ...
