Fast tacrolimus metabolism is linked to inferior outcomes such as rejection and lower renal
function after kidney transplantation. Renal calcineurin-inhibitor toxicity is a common adverse …

Purpose We investigated the prognostic value of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in patients with
high grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Materials and Methods Tissue microarrays of …

Integrin activation is required for neutrophil functions. Impaired integrin activation on
neutrophils is the hallmark of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome in humans, …

Neutrophil adhesion and extravasation into tissue at sites of injury or infection depend on
binding of the integrin lymphocyte function–associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) to ICAM-1 expressed …

Intestinal anastomotic healing (AH) is critical in colorectal surgery, since disruptive AH leads
to anastomotic leakage, a feared postoperative complication. Macrophages are innate …

Background Preventing sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (S‐AKI) can be challenging
because it develops rapidly and is often asymptomatic. Probability assessment of disease …

Kidney transplantation causes large perturbations of the immune system. While many studies
focus on the allograft, insights into systemic effects are largely missing. Here, we analyzed …

The reduced number of circulating stem/progenitor cells that is found in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients may contribute to impaired angiogenic repair and decreased capillary …

Acute cellular renal allograft rejection (AR) frequently occurs after kidney transplantations. It
is a sterile T-cell mediated inflammation leading to increased local glucose metabolism. …

Minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE) of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is no
longer considered in the new eighth edition of the staging manual of the American Joint …
