Stage-Specific Gene Expression Profiles in Multiple Sclerosis Cortical Lesions Identified via Spatial Transcriptomics

<title>Abstract</title> Background and Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system. While animal models have provided valuable insights into lesion development, human-based studies—parti...

Altered Complement and Tubular Mitochondrial Proteins Are Linked to Graft Loss in DSA+ Antibody–Mediated Rejection

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the main driver of late kidney allograft loss. Anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are strongly associated with AMR. However, 30-60% of DSA + patients do not develop AMR, raising the possibility of local tissue adaptations to...
