COVID-19-related medical research: a meta-research and critical appraisal

1/12/2021

As with many fields, science has been put to the test by the coronavirus pandemic. An international team of researchers, led by French scientists, has demonstrated novel scientific practices around Covid-19. Under the pressure of the number of cases and the urgent need to understand the virus, many research groups have shared results, sometimes to the expense of high scientific standards.

During the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, medical research saw a historic number of studies on the coronavirus published in a short period of time. An international consortium of experts in medical methodology undertook the major challenge of evaluating the Covid-19 research during this first wave.

A. Loupy, Awarded GENEWIZ Digital Spatial Profiler Grant

1/7/2021

Leading global genomics service provider, GENEWIZ, a Brooks Life Sciences Company, announced today that Alexandre Loupy, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Nephrology and Epidemiology at Necker Hospital, Paris, and Director of the Paris Transplant Group at Inserm, France, has been awarded the GENEWIZ Digital Spatial Profiler Grant. Pr. Loupy will be provided digital spatial profiling services on the NanoString Technologies® GeoMx™ platform for his study investigating the spatial immune response during allograft rejection.

Assessment of the Utility of Kidney Histology as a Basis for Discarding Organs in the US

12/15/2020

New research indicates that analyses of kidney biopsies from deceased donors don’t provide meaningful information beyond standard assessments of donor and recipient characteristics. In addition, the study revealed that relying on these analyses has prompted the discard of many potentially suitable organs for transplantation in the United States. The findings appear in JASN.

Despite a critical scarcity of organs available for transplantation, thousands of deceased donor kidneys are discarded each year in the United States.

Prediction system for risk of allograft loss in patients receiving kidney transplants: international derivation and validation study

3/3/2020

The first universal algorithm for predicting the risk of kidney transplant loss, named iBox, has been developed, validated and just made public by teams from Europe and the US.

The iBox is designed for clinicians to personalize and improve patient follow-up. The iBox could also accelerate the development of new immunosuppressive treatments by reducing the duration of clinical trials and defining a valid surrogate endpoint.

Chronic kidney disease affects 1 out of 10 people worldwide and is steadily increasing. When it reaches end-stage renal disease and endangers the lives of patients, dialysis or transplantation is required.

Archetype Analysis Identifies Distinct Profiles in Renal Transplant Recipients with Transplant Glomerulopathy Associated with Allograft Survival

3/14/2019

New research conducted by the Paris Translational Research Center for Organ Transplantation team could help clinicians determine which patients will have a disease that usually occurs after a kidney transplant and which are at high risk of transplant failure. The results are published today in the prestigious Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).

Transplant glomerulopathy was first described and characterized 50 years ago. It is a disease associated with the loss of a kidney transplant and common after a transplant. It affects the functional units (i. e. glomeruli) of the transplanted kidney. There is currently no treatment for this heterogeneous disease.

Timing of anti-donor antibody responses affects the survival of kidney transplants

3/2/2017

Kidney rejection initiated by antibodies that were present before transplantation is linked with a better outcome that rejection due to antibodies that arise after transplantation

New research provides insights on transplant recipients’ antibody responses against donor kidneys and how the timing of those responses can have important implications. The findings appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
