Effect of sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibition on the Aldosterone/Renin Ratio in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(Thieme Publishing, 2018-12-06)
The aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) is recommended for case detection of primary aldosteronism (PA). Several factors including medications can undermine its diagnostic accuracy. The objective was to explore the effect of ...
Defining reference intervals for a serum growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) assay in a Caucasian population and its potential utility in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
(De Gruyter, 2018-09-15)
BACKGROUND:
Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), a stress responsive cytokine, is a promising biomarker of renal functional decline in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study aimed primarily to establish normative ...
Anti-donor antibody induction following intramuscular injections of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells
(Wiley, 2018-02-15)
Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (allo-MSC) are a promising "off-the-shelf" therapy with anti-inflammatory and pro-repair properties. This study investigated humoral immune responses to intramuscular (IM) injections ...
Phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of human intermediate monocytes based on HLA-DR expression
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
Human blood monocytes are subclassified as classical, intermediate and nonclassical. In this study, it was shown that conventionally defined human intermediate monocytes can be divided into two distinct subpopulations with ...
High-risk corneal transplantation: Recent developments and future possibilities
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2019-12)
Human corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is typically considered to have superior short- and long-term outcomes and lower requirement for immunosuppression compared to solid organ transplants because of the inherent ...
TGF-ß1-Licensed Murine MSCs show superior therapeutic efficacy in modulating corneal allograft immune rejection In Vivo
(Elsevier, 2020-05-29)
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising therapeutic option for multiple immune diseases/disorders; however, efficacy of MSC treatments can vary significantly. We present a novel licensing strategy to improve the ...
Human monocyte subset distinctions and function: Insights from gene expression analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-04)
Monocytes are a highly plastic innate immune cell population that displays significant heterogeneity within the circulation. Distinct patterns of surface marker expression have become accepted as a basis for distinguishing ...
Burden of chronic kidney disease and rapid decline in renal function among adults attending a hospital-based diabetes center in Northern Europe
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-14)
Introduction This study aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and rapid renal function decline and to identify indices associated with this decline among adults attending a diabetes center in ...
Human mesenchymal stromal cells broadly modulate high glucose-induced inflammatory responses of renal proximal tubular cell monolayers
(BMC, 2019-11-19)
Background: Renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC) are dysfunctional in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may modulate DKD pathogenesis through anti-inflammatory mediators. This study ...
