(Elsevier BV, 2011)
      While many individual transcription factors are known to regulate hematopoietic differentiation, major aspects of the global architecture of hematopoiesis remain unknown. Here, we profiled gene expression in 38 distinct ...
    • Distinct, strict requirements for Gfi-1b in adult bone marrow red cell and platelet generation 

      Foudi, Adlen; Kramer, Daniel J.; Qin, Jinzhong; Ye, Denise; Behlich, Anna-Sophie; Mordecai, Scott; Preffer, Frederic I.; Amzallag, Arnaud; Ramaswamy, Sridhar; Hochedlinger, Konrad; Orkin, Stuart H.; Hock, Hanno (The Rockefeller University Press, 2014)
      The zinc finger transcriptional repressor Gfi-1b is essential for erythroid and megakaryocytic development in the embryo. Its roles in the maintenance of bone marrow erythropoiesis and thrombopoiesis have not been defined. ...

      Purpose: Treatment of malignant and nonmalignant hematologic diseases with hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) was first described almost 60 years ago, and its use has expanded significantly over the last 20 ...
    • HLA-Mismatched Renal Transplantation without Maintenance Immunosuppression 

      Kawai, Tatsuo; Cosimi, A. Benedict; Spitzer, Thomas Richard; Tolkoff-Rubin, Nina Ellen; Suthanthiran, Manikkam; Saidman, Susan L.; Shaffer, Juanita; Preffer, Frederic Ira; Ding, Ruchuang; Sharma, Vijay; Fishman, Jay Alan; Dey, Bimalangshu; Ko, Dicken S.C.; Hertl, Martin; Goes, Nelson B.; Wong, Waichi; Williams, Winfred Woodrow; Colvin, Robert Barnes; Sykes, Megan; Sachs, David H. (New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2008)
      Five patients with end-stage renal disease received combined bone marrow and kidney transplants from HLA single-haplotype mismatched living related donors, with the use of a nonmyeloablative preparative regimen. Transient ...
    • Human ovarian cancer stem/progenitor cells are stimulated by doxorubicin but inhibited by Mullerian inhibiting substance 

      Meirelles, K.; Benedict, Lance Mitchell; Dombkowski, D.; Pepin, David; Preffer, Frederic Ira; Teixeira, J; Tanwar, P; Young, Robert Henry; MacLaughlin, D. T.; Donahoe, Patricia; Wei, X. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012)
      Women with late-stage ovarian cancer usually develop chemotherapeutic-resistant recurrence. It has been theorized that a rare cancer stem cell, which is responsible for the growth and maintenance of the tumor, is also ...
    • Inducible colitis-associated glycome capable of stimulating the proliferation of memory CD4+ T cells 

      Nishida, Atsushi; Nagahama, Kiyotaka; Imaeda, Hirotsugu; Ogawa, Atsuhiro; Lau, Cindy W.; Kobayashi, Taku; Hisamatsu, Tadakazu; Preffer, Frederic I.; Mizoguchi, Emiko; Ikeuchi, Hiroki; Hibi, Toshifumi; Fukuda, Minoru; Andoh, Akira; Blumberg, Richard S.; Mizoguchi, Atsushi (The Rockefeller University Press, 2012)
      Immune responses are modified by a diverse and abundant repertoire of carbohydrate structures on the cell surface, which is known as the glycome. In this study, we propose that a unique glycome that can be identified through ...
