DOI: 10.1002/term.2923
Abstract: Regenerated organs are expected to solve the problem of donor organ shortage in transplantation medicine. One approach to lung regeneration is to decellularize the organ and reseed it with selected cells. An advantage of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.idcr.2020.e00908
Abstract: Historically, antibodies to alpha-gal were initially diagnosed with administration of cetuximab. After further studying the chemical structure of cetuximab, it was found that approximately 30 % of the structure of cetuximab consisted of an oligosaccharide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac663
Abstract: Abstract Background Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a recently described allergy to galactose-α-1,3-galactose, an oligosaccharide present in mammalian meat. AGS can present with angioedema, urticaria, and anaphylaxis arising 3–6 hours after ingestion, although symptoms such as gastrointestinal… read more here.
