Novel and Innovative Hybrid Technique for Type A Aortic Dissection

Novel and Innovative Hybrid Technique for Type A Aortic Dissection

The protocol describes ascending aortic replacement combined with endovascular coverage of the entire aortic arch with a fenestrated stent graft in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection in the absence of a tear in the aortic...

Surgical Porcine Model of Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Treated by Exosome-laden Collagen Patch and Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Surgical Porcine Model of Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Treated by Exosome-laden Collagen Patch and Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

This study presents a surgical porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia due to progressive coronary artery stenosis, resulting in impaired cardiac function without infarction. Following ischemia, animals undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass graft with epicardial placement of stem cells-derived exosomes-laden collagen patch. This adjunctive therapy improves myocardial function and...

Creation of Two Saccular Elastase-Digested Aneurysms with Different Hemodynamics in One Rabbit

Creation of Two Saccular Elastase-Digested Aneurysms with Different Hemodynamics in One Rabbit

This protocol describes the steps for the creation of a rabbit model with two elastase-digested aneurysms with different hemodynamics (stump and bifurcation constellation). This allows the testing of novel endovascular devices in aneurysms with different angioarchitecture and hemodynamic conditions within a single animal.

A Chronic Cardiac Ischemia Model in Swine Using an Ameroid Constrictor

A Chronic Cardiac Ischemia Model in Swine Using an Ameroid Constrictor

The purpose of this protocol is to demonstrate the placement of a delayed constricting device (an ameroid constrictor) around a coronary artery in a swine model. This device creates an ischemic area of the heart that is useful for studying new diagnostic imaging techniques and new methods of treatment.

Direct Re-implantation of Left Coronary Artery into the Aorta in Adults with Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)

Direct Re-implantation of Left Coronary Artery into the Aorta in Adults with Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)

Surgical correction of ALCAPA is highly recommended, regardless of age or the degree of intercoronary collateralization. This protocol presents a technique for the direct re-implantation of adult-type ALCAPA into the aorta to re-establish the dual-coronary perfusion. Whenever feasible, direct re-implantation is preferred to other surgical correction...

A New Murine Model of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair

A New Murine Model of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Histological and biochemical modifications after aneurysm endograft exclusion are still unclear. We describe a new model of endograft implantation on a murine aneurysm. Through thrombus analysis with and without persistant circulating blood stream interface, and new endovascular biomaterials evaluation, this model will help to better understand endovascular aneurysm exclusion...

Summary

The immune system aids central nervous system (CNS) repair. Human antibodies (mAbs) targeting CNS epitopes promote nerve regeneration and remyelination, challenging the view of CNS immunity as solely pathogenic.

Area of Science:

Neuroimmunology
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

The immune system's role extends beyond pathogen defense to include organismal integrity monitoring and damage repair.
Central nervous system (CNS) repair involves both cellular and humoral immune components.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the role of immune components, particularly antibodies, in CNS repair and regeneration.
To determine if CNS-reactive antibodies can promote recovery following CNS injury or disease.

Main Methods:

Experimental models of CNS injury (demyelination, transection) and immunization with CNS antigens.
Transfer of activated immune cells (macrophages, T cells) and administration of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) reactive to CNS epitopes.

Main Results:

Immune cells activated against CNS antigens promoted axon regrowth and protection.
Prior immunization with spinal cord antigens enhanced repair following CNS injury.
Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) reactive to oligodendrocytes promoted remyelination, even without prior neurological injury.
Antibodies were identified as the key biologically active immune component in these repair processes.

Conclusions:

B-cell clones producing CNS-reactive mAbs are a normal part of the human antibody repertoire.
Immune responses to CNS antigens are not inherently pathogenic and can be beneficial for repair.
CNS-reactive human mAbs hold potential for facilitating CNS regeneration and treatment following CNS disease.
