This single-center retrospective study was designed to evaluate the use of basiliximab as an alternative rescue maintenance immunosuppression in situations where standard maintenance immunosuppression is not tolerated after a pancreas transplant. All pancreas transplants performed between January 11, 2006, and January 6, 2022, were reviewed. All recipients received rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) induction with tacrolimus + sirolimus maintenance for simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) and additional low-dose mycophenolic acid for pancreas transplant alone (PTA).

The essential yeast protein GPN-loop GTPase 1 (Npa3) plays a critical role in RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) assembly and subsequent nuclear import. We previously identified a synthetic lethal interaction between a mutant lacking the carboxy-terminal 106-amino acid tail of Npa3 (npa3ΔC) and a bud27Δ mutant. As the prefoldin-like Bud27 protein participates in ribosome biogenesis and translation, we hypothesized that Npa3 may also regulate these biological processes.

New anti-lung cancer therapies are urgently required to improve clinical outcomes. Since ganodermanontriol (GDNT) has been identified as a potential antineoplastic agent, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is investigated in this study. Concretely, lung cancer cells were treated with GDNT and/or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), after which MTT assay, flow cytometry and Western blot were conducted.

Background: In a phase 3 study of adults with active lupus nephritis, addition of voclosporin to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and low-dose glucocorticoids led to significant improvements in the proportion of participants achieving complete and partial renal response as well as sustained reduction in proteinuria. This analysis examined the efficacy and safety of voclosporin in a subgroup of the phase 3 study with proliferative lupus nephritis and high levels of proteinuria.
Methods: Participants were randomized to oral voclosporin (23.

Exosomes are natural endogenous extracellular vesicles with phospholipid-based bilayer membrane structures. Due to their unique protein-decorated membrane properties, exosomes have been regarded as promising drug carriers to deliver small molecules and genes. A number of approaches have been developed for exosome-based drug loading.
