Kidney organoids are an innovative tool in transplantation research. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether kidney organoids are susceptible for allo-immune attack and whether they can be used as a model to study allo-immunity in kidney transplantation. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids were co-cultured with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), which resulted in invasion of allogeneic T-cells around nephron structures and macrophages in the stromal cell compartment of the organoids.

Background: Machine perfusion is the preferred preservation method for deceased donor kidneys. Perfusate fluid, which contains a complex mixture of components, offers potential insight into the organ's viability and function. This study explored immune cell release, particularly tissue-resident lymphocytes (TRLs), during donor kidney machine perfusion and its correlation with injury markers.

The extent to which tissue-resident memory T (T) cells in transplanted organs possess alloreactivity is uncertain. This study investigates the alloreactive potential of T cells in kidney explants from 4 patients who experienced severe acute rejection leading to graft loss. Alloreactive T cell receptor (TCR) clones were identified in pretransplant blood samples through mixed lymphocyte reactions, followed by single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing of the proliferated recipient T cells.

Allogeneic stem-cell based regenerative medicine is a promising approach for bone defect repair. The use of chondrogenically differentiated human marrow stromal cells (MSCs) has been shown to lead to bone formation by endochondral ossification in immunodeficient pre-clinical models. However, an insight into the interactions between the allogeneic immune system and the human MSC-derived bone grafts has not been fully achieved yet.

Allogeneic transplant organs are potentially highly immunogenic. The endothelial cells (ECs) located within the vascular system serve as the primary interface between the recipient's immune system and the donor organ, playing a key role in the alloimmune response. In this study, we investigated the potential use of recipient-derived ECs in a vein recellularization model.
