Purpose Of Review: There is great variability in how different organ allografts respond to the same tolerance induction protocol. Well known examples of this phenomenon include the protolerogenic nature of kidney and liver allografts as opposed to the tolerance-resistance of heart and lung allografts. This suggests there are organ-specific factors which differentially drive the immune response following transplantation.
Recent Findings: The specific cells or cell products that make one organ allograft more likely to be accepted off immunosuppression than another are largely unknown. However, new insights have been made in this area recently.
Summary: The current review will focus on the organ-intrinsic factors that contribute to the organ-specific differences observed in tolerance induction with a view to developing therapeutic strategies to better prevent organ rejection and promote tolerance induction of all organs.

Objective: Our previous studies have indicated potentially higher proliferative activity of tumor cells in Chinese patients with mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) than those in Western. Given the success and tolerability of R-DA-EDOCH immunochemotherapy in treating aggressive B-cell lymphomas, we designed a prospective, phase 3 trial to explore the efficacy and safety of alternating R-DA-EDOCH/R-DHAP induction therapy for young patients with newly diagnosed MCL. The primary endpoint was the complete remission rate (CRR) at the end of induction (EOI).

Background: Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder that impairs the excretion of copper in hepatocytes and results in excessive copper deposition in multiple organs. The replacement of disordered hepatocytes with functional hepatocytes can serve as a lifelong therapeutic strategy for the treatment of WD. The aim of this study was to determine the hepatocyte repopulation effects of fibroblast-derived hepatic progenitor cells in the treatment of WD.

The thymus, a complex organ formed by different cell types that establish close interaction, serves a unique function of significant interest. The role played by the thymic stroma is not only a connective tissue or a support structure, but it also involves the stromal thymic epithelial cells (TECs) establishing physical and functional interaction with developing thymocytes. This interaction culminates in the induction of central tolerance, a function that sets this organ apart.

This review article explores the intricate role, and regulation of ribosomal protein in response to stress, particularly emphasizing their pivotal role to ameliorate abiotic and biotic stress conditions in crop plants. Plants must coordinate ribosomes production to balance cellular protein synthesis in response to environmental variations and pathogens invasion. Over the past decade, research has revealed ribosome subgroups respond to adverse conditions, suggesting that this tight coordination may be grounded in the induction of ribosome variants resulting in differential translation outcomes.

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract, and miR-224 can promote the hypoxia tolerance of esophageal cancer cells. The expression of miR-224 and HIF-1α in esophageal cancer cells under hypoxic induction and their relationship with ROS was studied using RT-qPCR and Western Blot assays; cell viability and apoptosis under hypoxia, as well as the effects of miR-224 on cell proliferation and drug resistance, were investigated using CCK8, Annexin V-FITC/PI, H2DCFDA staining and Western Blot assays. Under hypoxic induction, miR-224 and HIF-1α expressions were upregulated, with the upregulation of miR-224 being related to ROS accumulation, while HIF-1α upregulation was not affected by ROS.
