#Immunosuppressive Tx promoted an improvement in cardiac function in 88% of the cases compared the placebo group

(1/3) Amazing case study in the American Journal of #Transplantation:

(2/3) After experiencing a complete response, the patient was re-transplanted with a second kidney. This second graft was monitored for rejection using a novel #liquid #biopsy.
This is the first time, to my knowledge, a patient beat cancer and active organ rejection.

(3/3) We think liquid biopsies will fundamentally change the transplant space, allowing doctors to precisely dial #immunosuppressive medication, anticipate organ rejection, and monitor organ health, using a non-invasive approach.
Important paper 👉 They identified several #microbiota components strongly associated w/ white blood cell dynamics☝️Supports the growing reality that we must study the human #immune response in concert w/ the increasing # of #organisms capable of persisting in humans
They also clarify that the #radiation + #chemotherapy administed to hematopoietic cell therapy (HCT) patients can cause loss of #microbiome diversity + commensal microbial families 👉 but microbiome diversity can recover during white blood cell reconstitution
That supports a 2nd important trend 👉 #Immunosuppressive treatments can negatively impact microbiome “health”, while supporting the immune response may have the opposite effect (improved #microbiome dynamics)
