Utility of Screening-Bead Assay in Testing for Formation of Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies and Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Renal Allografts Post-Transplant.
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Present-day immunosuppressive therapy in renal allograft recipients targets cell-mediated immunity and has significantly improved outcomes over the years. However, allograft failure rates still approach 50% towards 10 years post-transplantation. Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is...

Use of Guideline-directed Medical Therapy in Patients ≥65 years after the Diagnosis of Heart Failure: A Canadian Population-based Study
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite proven efficacy, GDMT are under-utilized in clinical practice. The current study examines GDMT utilization after incident...

Unveiling the pathway for the nuclear translocation of the large mitochondrial enzyme Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex (PDC)
DownloadSpring 2021
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a mitochondrial enzyme that links glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation by decarboxylating glucose-derived pyruvate to produce acetyl-CoA that is used in the Krebs cycle. PDC was initially thought to reside only in the mitochondrial matrix but we recently...
