The molecular heritage of vascular injury: Roles in rejection and renal failure
FY 2015-16
Summary
Our group showed that cells from damaged blood vessels send alarm signals to the immune system in the form of tiny cell fragments. The latter activate the immune system and accelerate rejection of transplanted organs. The goal of the present proposal is to characterize the basic pathways that control the production of these cell fragments, to characterize the mechanisms implicated in the activation of the immune system by these fragments and to evaluate the impact of these cell fragments on rejection and renal failure in renal transplant patients.
