The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium cellulovorans is a promising candidate for the sustainable production of biofuels and platform chemicals due to its cellulolytic properties. However, the genomic engineering of the species is hampered because of its poor genetic accessibility and the lack of genetic tools. To overcome this limitation, a protocol for triparental conjugation was established that enables the reliable transfer of vectors for markerless chromosomal modification into C.

Prediction Model of the T Cell-mediated Rejection After Liver Transplantation in Children and Adults: a Case-controlled Study.

Int J Surg

January 2025

Department of Liver Transplant Center, Organ Transplant Center, West China Hospital/West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, P.R, China.

Objective: T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) is a major concern following liver transplantation (LT), and identifying its predictors could help improve post-transplant prognosis. This study aimed to develop a model to predict the risk of TCMR in children and adults after LT.

Method: Pre-transplant demographic characteristics, intraoperative parameters, and especially early post-transplant laboratory data for 1,221 LT recipients (1,096 adults and 125 children) were obtained from Hospital, University, between 1 January 2015, and 1 January 2022.
