Abstract

Allograft vasculopathy (AV) leads to chronic rejection of organ transplants, but its causes are obscure. New research from the Jane-Wit laboratory showed that Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signalling from damaged graft endothelium drives vasculopathy by promoting proinflammatory cytokine production and NLRP3-inflammasome activation in alloreactive CD4+PTCH1hiPD-1hiT memory cells, offering new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
