TL;DR: It is shown that immunosuppressive drug regimens can mitigate the anti-hESC immune response and that a regimen of combined tacrolimus and sirolimus therapies significantly prolongs survival of hESCs for up to 28 days.

TL;DR: Mobilization of vessel-associated MPO may represent an important mechanism by which heparins exert antiinflammatory effects and increase vascular NO bioavailability in humans.

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was the investigation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the pediatric population, essential for adequate monitoring and classification of pediatric patients with heart disease, but no consistent data are available yet.

TL;DR: Renal injury caused a greater impairment of renal function, glomerular injury, albuminuria, and mortality in the knockout mice than in the wild-type mice, and activation of the AT2 receptor will have therapeutic benefit in chronic kidney disease will require further study.

TL;DR: Assessment of 3-axis acceleration by use of data loggers can be used to identify preanalytical deviations that result from the transportation of blood samples in PTSs without the need for repeated blood drawing and laboratory analyses.
