"Blocking CCL8-CCR8-Mediated Early Allograft Inflammation Improves Kidney Transplant Function"
(J Am Soc Nephrol. 2022 Oct;33(10):1876-1890. doi: 10.1681/ASN.2022020139. Epub 2022 Aug 16.)

In this article:
In kidney transplantation, early allograft inflammation impairs long-term allograft function. However, precise mediators of early kidney allograft inflammation are unclear, making it challenging to design therapeutic interventions. [The authors found that] targeting the CCL8-CCR8 axis is a promising measure to reduce early kidney allograft inflammation.
