Allograft rejection is a widespread complication in allograft recipients with chronic kidney disease. Undertreatment of subclinical and clinical rejection and later post-transplant problems are caused by an imperfect understanding of the mechanisms at play and a lack of adequate diagnostic tools. Many different biomarkers have been analyzed and proposed to detect and monitor these crucial events in transplant outcomes. In this sense, microRNAs may help diagnose rejection or tolerance and indicate appropriate treatment, especially in patients with chronic allograft rejection. As key epigenetic regulators of physiological homeostasis, microRNAs have therapeutic potential and may indicate allograft tolerance or rejection. However, more evidence and clinical validation are indispensable before microRNAs are ready for clinical prime time.

Organ transplantation is the last-resort option to treat organ failure. However, less than 10% of patients benefit from this only option due to lack of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched donor organs and 25%-80% of donated organs could not find MHC-matched recipients. T cell allorecognition is the principal mechanism for allogeneic graft rejection.

This paper presents a novel adaptive fault-tolerant control (AFTC) framework for systems with piezoelectric sensor patches, specifically targeting sensor faults and external disturbances. The proposed method ensures robust control of cantilever thick plates by integrating adaptive estimation to simultaneously handle sensor faults and system uncertainties, maintaining stability despite issues like drift, bias, loss of accuracy, and effectiveness. Unlike traditional approaches that address sensor faults individually, our method provides a comprehensive solution backed by Lyapunov-based stability analysis, demonstrating uniform ultimate boundedness under various fault conditions.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that spontaneous preterm labor is a syndrome caused by multiple pathological processes. The breakdown of maternal-fetal tolerance has been proposed as a key mechanism of idiopathic spontaneous preterm labor, often viewed as a chronic inflammatory process resulting from the maternal immune system's impaired tolerance of the fetus from early pregnancy. Regulatory T cells are crucial for maintaining maternal-fetal tolerance.

Solid organ transplantation has significantly improved the survival rate of patients with terminal organ failure. However, its success is often compromised by allograft rejection, a process in which T helper 17 (Th17) cells play a crucial role. These cells facilitate rejection by enhancing neutrophil infiltration into the graft and by activating endothelial cells and fibroblasts.

Seminal fluid provides for the carriage and nutrition of sperm, but also modulates immunity to prevent allo-rejection of sperm by the female. Immune suppression by seminal fluid has been associated with extracellular vesicles, originally termed prostasomes, which contain CD52, a glycosylated glycophosphoinositol-anchored peptide released from testicular epithelial cells. Previously, we reported that human T cell-derived CD52, bound to the danger-associated molecular pattern protein, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), suppresses T cell function via the inhibitory sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-10 (Siglec-10) receptor.
