Rejection caused by donor-specific antibodies (principally ABO and HLA antibodies) has become one of the major barriers to successful long-term transplantation. This review focuses on clinical outcomes in antibody-incompatible transplantation, the current state of the science underpinning clinical observations, and how these may be translated into further novel therapies. The clinical outcomes ...

Abstract: Autophagy-related (Atg) gene-encoded proteins were originally described for their crucial role in macroautophagy, a catabolic pathway for cytoplasmic constituent degradation in lysosomes. Recently it has become clear that modules of this machinery can also be used to influence endo- and exocytosis. This mini review discusses how these alternative Atg functions support virus replicatio...
