Achieving and maintaining harmony between the liver and the host immune system is critical for liver graft health. Dr. @SandyFeng8, Vice-Chair of Research has earned a $7.2M @NIAIDNews grant to decode the tipping point between calm and crisis in children with liver transplants‼️

Thrilled to see the release of this work on gene expression-based molecular scoring of pancreas transplant rejection in @amjtransplant! Congratulations to the @UCSFSurgery @UCSFTransplant team for their hard work and dedication in bringing this to fruition bit.ly/3ZOXwKm
ALT Common and unique gene transcripts specific to rejection severity and biological processes involved with rejection. A supervised clustering lists 58 and 37 genes significantly changed in ACR2 (A) and ACR3 (B), 28 genes overlapped as shown in VennDiagram (C). The common genes significantly changed in ACR grades 2 and 3 were enriched in biological processes such as the immune system process (FDR 1.47E-16) and response to cytokine (FDR 4.67E-16).
