Longitudinal Pharmacokinetics of Mycophenolic Acid in Elderly Renal Transplant Recipients Compared to a Younger Control Group: Data from the nEverOld Trial.

Background And Objectives: Elderly patients are increasingly likely to be recipients of transplants. However, the pharmacokinetics of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in this population are yet to be studied in detail. The objective of this study was to assess whether there were differences in MPA pharmacokinetic parameter values between elderly recipients and younger-adult recipients during the 6 months immediately following renal transplantation.

Using genetic diversity information to establish core collections of Stylosanthes capitata and Stylosanthes macrocephala.

Stylosanthes species are important forage legumes in tropical and subtropical areas. S. macrocephala and S.

Identification of Stylosanthes guianensis varieties using molecular genetic analysis.

Background And Aims: The botanical classification of Stylosanthes guianensis is controversial, and few studies have used molecular markers to analyse this species. We used microsatellite markers to study the genetic diversity and population structure of S. guianensis and compare our results with the current infraspecific botanical classification.
