A mouse model of renal failure, which is induced by the sequential electrocoagulation of the
right renal cortex and left nephrectomy, was examined for the capacity to reproduce the …

Chronic renal failure was induced in mice using bilateral electrocoagulation of the renal
cortex. Thermal injury via an angled point cautery was applied to the fully exteriorized right …

The goal of this research was to develop a strategy to couple stem cell and gene therapy for
in vivo delivery of erythropoietin (Epo) for treatment of anemia of ESRD. It was shown …

Since 1998, there has been a marked increase in incidence of pure red cell aplasia
secondary to development of anti-erythropoietin antibodies (Ab+ PRCA) in patients who have …

The development and characterization of a mouse model of chronic Staphylococcus
epidermidis foreign body infection was done with two clinical isolates that differed in degree …

Indinavir is a potent protease inhibitor widely used in combination with reverse-transcriptase
inhibitors to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Individuals treated with …

We previously demonstrated that erythropoietin (EPO)-secreting mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSC) can be used for the long-term correction of renal failure-induced anemia. The present …

Infections associated with implants are frequently resistant to conventional antibiotic therapy.
This resistance has been ascribed to the presence of bacteria on the artificial surface within …

Background. Secondary erythrocytosis is classically defined by an increase in erythropoietin
(EPO) production. Despite increased levels of EPO often seen in secondary erythrocytosis, …
